This Sunday, take advantage of the extra daylight and challenge yourself and your kids or teens to see how much physical activity you can get. Regular physical activity benefits everyone! It can help reduce your risk for chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. It also helps strengthen your bones and muscles.

The extra hours of daylight and the warm weather make this Sunday a perfect day to go for a hike, have a family gathering at the park, go for a swim at the pool, take a walk with friends or family, or just enjoy your favorite type of physical activity.  For great ideas on how to add physical activity to your life, check out the link below:
