β€οΈ Future Fit Friday: Week #4- Move Your Body, Grow A Strong Heart β€οΈ
ππ½ππ΄ββοΈ Move Your Body, Grow a Strong Heart! β€οΈπͺ
Parents & Caregivers β letβs make heart health FUN!
When kids run, jump, dance, and play, their hearts beat faster β and thatβs a GOOD thing! π It means their hearts are getting stronger and healthier every day.
Take a few minutes to review this flyer together and ask:
β€οΈ What activities make your heart beat faster?
π² Do you like riding bikes, playing tag, dancing, or shooting hoops?
β±οΈ How can we fit in 30 minutes of movement today?
Make it a family challenge!
π Have a 30-minute dance party
π Go for a family walk or bike ride
π Play tag or basketball together
When children understand that movement = a strong heart, theyβre more excited to stay active. And when families move together, everyone benefits! π
Letβs build strong hearts and healthy habits β one fun activity at a time!
For more information or to schedule a checkup, contact Santee Health & Wellness Center at 402-857-2300 π
