I attended the America on The Move program @ the Grand Prairie YMCA today . The Program was also attended by over 600 citizens this past Saturday , September 20 from 10:00-1:00 pm .
The kids had fun beating drums , dancing , face painting , eating hot dogs , and just being kids . The adults , well we had talking to the vendors , and participating in the adult information services. The vendors were led by ATT which debuted their Uverse product , many other vendors were there such as Camp Grady Spruce YMCA , Cedar Hill State Park , Grand Prairie Farmers Market , Chick Fil A , and many more .
The America on the Move program is a partnership between the YMCA and America on the Move.The program is designed to combat the obesity epidemic and get America Moving again. The following is a review from the America on the Move web site .
September is America On the Move’s national month long celebration highlighting the benefits of active living and healthy eating. While obesity rates are on the rise making these two small simple changes can help prevent the annual one to two pounds of yearly weight gain in adults:
1. Move More – take 2,000 additional steps each day
2. Eat Healthfully – Reduce your daily calorie intake by just 100 calories each day.
By entering the six-week STEPtember challenge (start date between August 17 - September 30), you will receive daily tips on nutrition and physical activity, have the ability to track your progress, and be eligible to win the grand prize.
