Coming Soon to a Television Near You

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Ad Council and the National Football League have joined forces this past week to promote new public service announcements (PSAs), designed to encourage physical activity among children and combat childhood obesity. The commercials will run during football games this month.

The PSA's encourage kids from (ages 6-13) to engage in 60 minutes of activity daily, telling them physical activity is fun and easy and you do not need to play organized sports to be active. Both the HHS and the NFL have created websites and activities directed at children and families to address obesity, encourage physical activity and to be healthy.

This is yet another example of powerful partners coming together to help address this epidemic. I encourage you to take a look and explore these two sites and their fantastic resources. At My Fitness 1st we look forward to working with these organizations in our mission to eliminate obesity.
