SPRING BREAK IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER

Which means warm weather is soon to be constant here in Columbia! With the temperatures on the rise, you planning on getting out more? Did you know that there are requirements set by the world health organization for amount of time you should spend engaging in physical activity?

THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION

States that toddlers should spend at least 180 minutes engaged in any physical activity. Children should spend at least 60 minutes engaged in moderate/ vigorous activity and adults should spend at least 150-300 minutes engaged in moderate physical activity!

Columbia Family Says...

We agree! Your health, whether physical, mental or emotional, can be helped by increasing your physical activity! Engaging in exercise helps to load joints, increase muscle and bone strength and density. Release good stress hormones and aid in cardiovascular function! Some ways to start incorporating physical activity in your daily life includes going for walks/runs, playing with your child(ren) or grandkid(s), and joining a gym that has personal trainers/ classes.
