for
“Fun Fitness Breaks™” in Nation’s Schools

Recognizing the need to enhance the Healthy Children Healthy Futures evidence-based programs with additional emphasis on physical activity for children and families, Healthy Directions has formed a partnership with Kid Fitness Inc. to reinforce the need for daily physical activity in our nation’s schools.

Kid Fitness, highly-recognized for its 7-minute Kid Fitness Breaks, will work with Healthy Directions and its Healthy Children Healthy Futures program for maximum reach and visibility to promote physical activity for  kids and families via the Kid Fitness, “Fun Fitness Breaks™” Kit, intended for children in grades K-5.  Kid Fitness also distributes Fitness Breaks for pre-school children, ages 2-4.


Kids in School

The “Fun Fitness Breaks™ are designed to be used in the classrooms to:

  • Provide engaging physical activity breaks at various times during the school day.
  • Enhance learning (based on studies of the benefits of increased daily physical activity).
  • Provide supplemental activity minutes to meet mandated school wellness policies.
  • Assist in meeting the 8 Habits of Healthy Kids, which calls for One hour of physical activity a day, a national standard promoted by the American Academy of Pediatrics and others.
  • Provide an opportunity to build team spirit and classroom camaraderie.


  

Kit Includes

Healthy Children Healthy Futures’ 8 Habits of Healthy Kids Parent Post Card/Poster, designed for family refrigerator doors, will be added to the Fitness Kit to reinforce the fitness messages, in addition to healthy eating behaviors targeted to engage families in healthy eating and active healthy lifestyles.
