The Boys and Girls Club of America has come up with a Game Plan to help families stay healthy. The best part is that it encourages family participation. The Game Plan covers different activities for the Mind, Body, and Soul. The activities are aimed at children and teens, but encourage the whole family to participate.

 

Nearly 3 out of 10 kids in the United States are either overweight or obese. It is extremely important to engage kids and teens to be healthy and active to achieve a great future. Did you know that youth should participate in moderate to vigorous physical activity for at least 60 minutes per day? Yet only about one-quarter of youth in the US ages 12-15 are meeting that recommendation. We need to inspire our kids by example. What we eat, where we go, and what we do, are all indicators to how our children will eat and behave. Let’s get moving as a family!

 

The Triple Play program exists with support from partners, The Coca-Cola Company and Anthem BlueCross Foundation.  Boys and Girls Clubs will build the next generation of leaders, motivating kids to be healthy through nutrition and health education, more access to healthy foods, avoidance of risky behaviors and a lifelong commitment to fitness.
