Nutrition & Fitness Project

Introduction:

America’s obesity problem has been escalating for over four decades and childhood obesity in the United States has more than tripled in the past two decades. The "Get Fit for L.I.F.E. Project," aims to develop strategies to prevent obesity among participants and develop a community worksite wellness plan for staff as well. The Get Fit for L.I.F.E. project would also like to set up community initiatives that provide hands-on and informational workshops to develop habits for staying active and healthy in mind and body. Volunteers are needed to plan and lead activities focused on physical fitness, nutrition, and healthy living that will engage members of the community and promote healthy habits. There are many ways to assist with health initiatives programming:

• Lead activities for families to learn about nutrition, cooking demonstrations, alternative diets, healthy eating, community gardens, and establishing walking groups,
• Lead fitness workshops to teach ways to stay active and to promote body positivity like yoga, aerobics, Zumba, Tai Chi, kickboxing, martial arts, and more
• Plan Mid-Summer Fitness 4 Fun Obesity Prevention Fair
