Family Health and Fitness Day falls on the last Saturday of every September.  The purpose of this day is to promote physical activity for families and to start creating healthy habits.  On this nationally recognized day, organizations throughout the country will host family-related health and fitness events in parks, schools, malls, health centers, hospitals and more.  Activities will be noncompetitive and may include walking events, low-impact exercises, health screenings, open houses, games and health information workshops.

What are some of the ways that you can promote family fitness in your family?  It may be as simple as a family walk, bike ride, outdoor games etc.  You don’t need to sign the whole family up for a gym membership.  Just keep moving!
