60-Minutes a Day for Kids
Being from New England I'm a big fan of the New England Patriots and watching them play football (American) every Sunday. Well, last Sunday when I was watching the game I noticed an ad by the NFL for their new website NFLrush.com.
It turns out that they are promoting exercise for kids. I thought this was a great way to use their influence to get kids to be more active. The NFL's theme is "Play 60" which encourages kids to go outside and run around and play for one hour a day.
Personally, I feel the only way we’re going to be able to break this cycle we're in of rising obesity rates is to really get the point across to kids about how important proper exercise and nutrition is. Children listen to their role models, so I hope every one of us who has some type of influence can lead by example and teach healthy lifestyle values to the next generation.

It is so true! We have to set an example for the next generation. I work in a lot of schools and I'm pretty well known by the kids in a few of them. They have seen my weight loss over the last 1.5 years and some have even asked my how I did it. It's great to be able to tell them that I eat healthy foods and make sure I exercise at least 60 minutes a day. I hope that they will remember that and that I can be a good example to them.
