Physical Activity Demonstration Essentials
Thank you for your interest in receiving supplies and resources to support physical activity demonstrations in your community.
Physical activity promotion activities provide opportunities to learn fun and safe ways to be active. When paired with nutrition education and other healthy messages, these activities can support balanced, healthy lifestyles. Demonstrating ways to incorporate physical activity into daily life can encourage participants to be active with their friends, family, and community.
The Physical Activity Essentials package can help organizations that are looking for ways to increase participation and engagement in physical activity. Physical activity demonstrations can be incorporated into a variety of community settings such as community events, health fairs, school and after-school programs, parks and recreation activities, and other programs that promote active living.
