January 28 - April 5, 2013
Live Healthy Iowa Kid's - 10 Week Wellness Challenge is a FREE challenge for youth in grades K-12 across the state of Iowa. This challenge inspires our youth to be more active and make better food and beverage choices. During the program, participants aim to be active for 60 minutes a day, at least five days per week. Youth will also be challenged to track their nutrition habits. Every two weeks, youth will be tracking fruits, vegetables, milk, water and screen time.
Each team needs 5-30 participants and an adult team captain with e-mail. The team captain's responsibility is to register the team, share the information from the weekly e-mails, report physical activity and nutrition each month and to act as a role model to inspire their team to live healthy, active lifestyles!

-
Weekly activity and nutrition tips e-mailed to the team captain
