Physical Activity

Physical activity or exercise is very important for our bodies. Average children need at least 60 minutes of DPA ever single day! Why do we need so much exercise? It makes us sweaty and tired but it's worth it.

First of all, when you exercise, you have a better chance of living longer. When you don't stay active you can get awful diseases like heart disease. Sure, you smell bad after running or dancing but it still is fun. Not only that, DPA makes you feel better about yourself. Either you lost weight or maybe it just relieved some stress. Do you want to start off to a great day? Do some exercise the day before! It can help you sleep better. There's still more! Physical activity can make your bones stronger and give you big muscles. See how much DPA can do for our lives?

For those who don't know what DPA is, it stands for Daily Physical Activity. In school, students have DPA all the time. So what can you do for your DPA? Here are some ideas:
- Running: Great way to burn calories. You can have fun when you run around by playing running games like tag. 
- Skating: This makes your muscles really strong and it's lot's of fun once you get the hang of it. Also, it looks really cool.
- Yoga: This is meant to get rid of stress. Simple poses that can make your body flexible. You can have a lot of fun trying to twist yourself in all the different poses. 
-Biking: Two wheels are hard at first but once you learn how to ride it you never forget. This makes your whole body stronger and riding a bike is so much fun! You can ride anywhere and it's so peaceful with lot's of fast wind.
-Dance: Dance! Anyone can do it if they tried. Make up your own moves or search up "Just Dance". You can watch dance tutorials and so much more.
