What is a Title I School
Physical Activity (Exercise, Working Out, Physical Fitness)
Regular physical activity, fitness and exercise are critically important for the health and well-being of people of all ages. All individuals can benefit from regular physical activity, whether they participate in vigorous exercise or some type of moderate health-enhancing activity.
To sustain good health, adults should participate in regular physical activity for at least 30 minutes, 5 days per week. Youth should strive for at least an hour of exercise a day which can happen in shorter spans of time throughout the day.
Regular physical activity has beneficial effects on your body and mind. It helps to prevent a broad range of health problems and increases the brain's capacity for learning. People of all ages, both male and female, derive substantial health benefits from physical activity including better self-esteem, better sleep, better moods, less anxiety and improved motor and social skills.
Regular physical activity can help improve the quality of life. Play is the major way children and youth engage in physical activity that is fun and age-appropriate. Modeling an active lifestyle at home can include simple activities like walking, biking, playing catch or kickbball. Use the resources provided to get new ideas to help your family stay active!
