Choose one activity from each step.
STEP 1: Start moving! 1. do 30 minutes of aerobic activity 3 days for 2 weeks. What’s aerobic activity? Aerobic activity is anything that gets your heart beating fast. Some examples are jump roping, biking, dancing, etc. Have fun! 2. Find a way to make your day more active. For example, instead of an elevator, take the stairs. If there is a shorter and longer way somewhere in your house, choose the longer way. How can you get more activity in your everyday life besides exercising? STEP 2: Keep your fit body fueled! 1. Choose 5 nutrients (like calcium, zinc, vitamin c, protein, carbohydrates, etc). Find out why the five you choose are important. Now head to your kitchen and find foods that have those in them by reading a nutrition label. 2. Learn the basics of food labels. Grab a box or can of something in your kitchen and turn it to the back. What information is on a food label? What’s important to know about each of those things? Which item in your kitchen would make a healthy snack? Compare 3 food labels to fund out! STEP 3: Know how to stress less! 1. Sometimes, just writing down what we feel and how our day is going makes us feel better. Try keeping a diary of your feelings for a week. Write or draw how you feel each day. The next week, don’t write anything. Could you tell a difference in how you felt? BONUS: next time you feel stressed, write what is bothering you on a scrap of paper… then tear it up and throw it away… did it help? 2. Create a stress free zone! Find a place in or outside your home that is totally stress free. Maybe it’s a comfy corner in your room (or even your closet), maybe it’s under a tree in your yard… get creative. What do you need there to help you de-stress? A radio so you can dance, a diary, or maybe nothing at all. Set up your space and use it this week whenever you need to. STEP 4: Get the truth about health! 1. Talk to a health professional or watch 2 of these videos below: Doctor Checkup for Kids - Types of Doctors - Social Studies | Kids Academy What's the Job of a School Nurse? What does a pharmacist do? 2. Find truth in advertising. With an adults permission, grab a magazine in the house and find an add for a health or beauty product. Look at what the ad says it will do. Now with an adult (you can go to the library for help) look into whether or not the claims they make are true. For more fun, use the add and make a collage stating some of the true health information you learned and share it with the troop. STEP 5: Help your family stay fit! 1. With an adult, plan a healthy dinner. Create a menu together and shop for ingredients. Cook and eat together. Take time to talk about the flavors you like in the food. Maybe even end the night with a board game. 2. Be active together! Take a hike, a walk around the neighborhood, play in the yard… whatever it is, find a physical activity you can enjoy as a family.
