August Physical Activity Break Ideas

Physical activity breaks during the school day provide children and youth an opportunity to be active and take a break from sedentary activities in the classroom. By increasing daily physical activity levels of youth, they will be more focused and ready to return to their academic studies.

Recent studies show that micro-exercise, or brief exercise bouts of at least 10 minutes, may result in fitness and health benefits.
