The following information is from the USA.gov team:
As the weather gets nicer in
May, it’s the perfect time to get outdoors to celebrate National Physical
Fitness and Sports Month. Spend some time this month enjoying the warmer
weather while sneaking in extra physical activity. Use these tips from USA.gov
to make fitness more fun:
Exercise doesn’t have to be
boring. You can play games with your family like wiffle ball, tag and capture
the flag. Go to a local park or use your backyard to run around with your kids.
Before you know it, you’ll have met the daily
guidelines of 60 minutes of movement for kids and 30 minutes for adults.
Take the President’s
Fitness Challenge. Start with the physical
fitness test to see how you stack up against other people your age. Based
on your scores you can earn awards in different categories.
Look to your state
tourism office or your local
department of parks and recreation to learn about active events going on in
your area. You may be able to find sports teams for your children to play on or
adult recreational leagues for yourself.
No one wants to get hurt and
have to spend time on the sidelines. But if you do end up with an injury, learn
the best
at-home treatments and when you should call in the professionals. You’ll
also find tips on how to prevent more injuries in the future.
