Getting Active!

10 minute shake up:

Why focus on just 10 minutes? Does it really make a difference? Kids should get at least 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity each day – that’s activity that gets their hearts pumping and bodies moving. However, recent research says that just 21% of boys and 16% of girls currently do this.
Evidence shows that 10 minutes or more of activity, performed several times a day to achieve at least 60 minutes in total, is sufficient to maintain good fitness and health.
In school-aged children, physical activity can lead to better academic achievement, increased attention span, improved behaviour and self-confidence. It also reduces the risk of developing chronic conditions in later life, such as heart disease or diabetes.
All the Shake Up activities, when performed using the instructions, can be categorised as moderate to vigorous exercise.

Organization

Business Tagline or Motto

This would be a good place to insert a short paragraph about your organization. It might include the purpose of the organization, its mission, founding date, and a brief history. You could also include a brief list of the types of products, services, or programs your organization offers, the geographic area covered (for example, western U.S. or European markets), and a profile of the types of customers or members served.
It would also be useful to include a contact name for readers who want more information about the organization.

Back Page Story Headline

This story can fit 175-225 words.
If your newsletter is folded and mailed, this story will appear on the back. So, it’s a good idea to make it easy to read at a glance.
A question and answer session is a good way to quickly capture the attention of readers. You can either compile questions that you’ve received since the last edition or you can summarize some generic questions that are frequently asked about your organization.
A listing of names and titles of managers in your organization is a good way to give your newsletter a personal touch. If your organization is small, you may want to list the names of all employees.
If you have any prices of standard products or services, you can include a listing of those here. You may want to refer your readers to any other forms of communication that you’ve created for your organization.
You can also use this space to remind readers to mark their calendars for a regular event, such as a breakfast meeting for vendors every third Tuesday of the month, or a biannual charity auction.
If space is available, this is a good place to insert a clip art image or some other graphic.

Caption describing picture or graphic.

It's a good idea to try to get this balance right every day, but you don't need to do it at
every meal. You might find it easier to get the balance right over a longer period, like
a week. Try to choose options that are lower in salt when you can.
Eating healthily is about eating the right amount of food for your energy needs. In the
UK, most adults are either overweight or obese. This means many of us are eating
more than we need, and should eat and drink fewer calories to lose weight.
