May is Michigan Moves Month–a perfect time to celebrate healthy habits as a family!
Fun fact: About 1 in 4 kids nationwide meet the daily goal of 60 minutes of physical activity, and together, we can help even more families get moving! (CDC, 2022)
Why movement matters:
Boosts energy, mood, and brainpower
Builds strong hearts, muscles, and bones
Strengthens family bonds, away from screens
Easy ways to move more:
Go for a family walk or bike ride
Dance in the living room
Try a backyard obstacle course or park visit
