What is the 60/60 Challenge?
Children 6-17 years old should participate in at least 60 minutes per day of moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity, a minimum of 3 days per week. While all students participate in physical education classes and recess, additional time is needed for children to benefit from the advantages exercise has to offer.
The 60/60 Challenge is a way for families to develop active lifestyle habits together.
Students, staff, and families are encouraged to team up and prioritize making time to get moving and incorporate activities such as running, walking, playing a sport, or engaging in personal fitness activities for a total of 60 minutes a day.
Exercise, along with proper nutrition, hydration, and adequate sleep patterns will help children and adults to reduce the incidence of heart disease, diabetes, support weight management, brain function, and mood.
