Physical Activities during Winter Break

We have three weeks off this winter break. During that time many people can forget to exercise. Below you will find some things that you can do to get yourself moving and to exercise. Find someone to go with you or make it a family outing.

Current research is encouraging people to exercise at least 60 minutes a day. People should participate in moderate to vigorous physical activity for at least 60 minutes but they do not have to participate in 60 continuous minutes.

Exercises you can try:

• Play basketball
• Play soccer
• Play football
• Ride a bike
• Go to a park
• Walk around a park or the neighborhood
• Play tag
• Jump Rope
• Hula Hoop
• Go on a hike
• Swimming (make sure its a heated pool first)
• Fitness Exercises (Curl Ups, Push Ups, plank position, etc.)
• Try a new sport that you want to learn
