Get Moving for National Physical Fitness and Sports Month
By: Drew Brees, Co-Chair, PCFSN and Dominique Dawes, Co-Chair, PCFSN
National Physical Fitness and Sports Month is the perfect time for children and families to get outside and play together! You don't have to do back flips in the Olympics or throw a football 40 yards down the field to be active and break a sweat. Whether you ride your bike to work or school or chase after your dog in the park, physical activity can be fun and it helps you feel good too.
