❤️ Future Fit Friday: Week #4- Move Your Body, Grow A Strong Heart ❤️
💃🏽🏀🚴♂️ Move Your Body, Grow a Strong Heart! ❤️💪
Parents & Caregivers — let’s make heart health FUN!
When kids run, jump, dance, and play, their hearts beat faster — and that’s a GOOD thing! 🎉 It means their hearts are getting stronger and healthier every day.
Take a few minutes to review this flyer together and ask:
❤️ What activities make your heart beat faster?
🚲 Do you like riding bikes, playing tag, dancing, or shooting hoops?
⏱️ How can we fit in 30 minutes of movement today?
Make it a family challenge!
🌟 Have a 30-minute dance party
🌟 Go for a family walk or bike ride
🌟 Play tag or basketball together
When children understand that movement = a strong heart, they’re more excited to stay active. And when families move together, everyone benefits! 💛
Let’s build strong hearts and healthy habits — one fun activity at a time!
