Tips and Suggestions
The message for America On the Move Week with the YMCA is to move more and eat healthfully by making two small daily changes — taking 2,000 more steps (the equivalent of about one mile) and eating only 100 fewer calories. Research from the America On the Move Foundation shows that these small changes have been shown to make a difference.

*Eat family meals together and sit down at the table.

*Make exercise fun! Turn up the music and do chores together.

*Drink more water. Decorate special water cups for the family. Use markers, stickers, sports decals and glue,
or whatever you like. Rinse out or wash the special water cups as a family and let them dry overnight.

 *Play everyday!

*Read the parenting guide for healthy families.

*Become a member the America On the Move Web Site. America On the Move is a national movement that encourages everyone to take steps towards a healthier way of life. As a member you will receive tools to help your family takes steps to live a healthier lifestyle.
