A couple of days ago I was contacted by a lady from Primrose Schools about blogging on fitness and childhood obesity. They are trying to raise awarness as well as raise money for children battling many various forms of illnesses.
Primrose Schools host an annual family dance off! How fun is that ( a great FHE activity)? It's a great way to connect together as a family and be silly, but also to show your children how important it is to be active and get those bodies movin'.
Here's what Emily from Primrose Schools has to say:
Get Up and Dance with Primrose Preschools!

Dance can be a fun, easy way to introduce physical activity into your family's daily routine. As a provider of early childhood education, Primrose Schools (with child care locations nationwide) has recognized and is actively fighting against the childhood obesity epidemic.
The Family Dance-off supports Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, a non-profit organization that raises funds for more than 170 children's hospitals, which collectively treat 17 million children annually for every illness and injury imaginable.
Families are encouraged to record and submit a 30 second video of themselves dancing to promote fitness and strengthen family ties.
Participating in the Family Dance-off is easy:
1. Record a 30-second video of your family's best dance moves. Don't be afraid to let loose and be silly!
2. Visit The Family Dance-off site and upload your best take by March 19.
3. Share your video with your friends via email, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
4. View and vote daily (you can place five votes per day) for your favorite family dance video!
Now for the prizes:
Not only does your family win, but the whole community wins, with $65,000 in donations to local Children's Miracle Network Hospitals:

I'm not a fitness buff nor am I a nutritionist. I'm barely there I think, but I strive to be active and eat healthier to maintain my lifestyle. I also strive to be active to show my children how important it is.
