Family
Health & Fitness Day USA
Saturday,
September 24, 2016
The
20th annual Family Health & Fitness Day USA is a national health
and fitness event for families, set for Saturday, September 24,
2016. (always on the last Saturday in September.) The event's purpose
is to promote family involvement in physical activity, one of the
goals of the U.S. Surgeon General's Report on Physical Activity
and Health.
Local
organizations throughout the country will host family-related health
and fitness events at schools, park districts, hospitals, YMCAs/YWCAs,
malls, health clubs and other community locations.
Local
family health and fitness activities will vary widely based on the
organization hosting the event and the interests of local families.
Activities will be noncompetitive and may include walking events,
low-impact exercises, health screenings, open houses, games and
health information workshops.
