Thousands of families are expected to get out and get active for the 20 Annual Health & Fitness Day on Sept. 29 at hundreds of locations throughout the country.
Events will be held at community sites, hospitals, health clubs, YMCAs and community centers across the country ranging from health and fitness demonstrations to health fairs and family walks and runs.
"We are now entering our 21st year as a national family health and fitness event," says Pat Henze, FHFD director. "Our goals for Family Health & Fitness Day are to emphasize the importance and fun of regular physical activity and to encourage families of all ages to take advantage of the many health and fitness programs offered in their communities."
Family Health and Fitness Day was launched in 1997 following a Surgeon General’s report showing that the majority of Americans, particularly children from 12-21 years do not get nearly enough exercise. Fibronostics Blog Sep-29 G
