Each morning, students from 77 schools in both Florida and Texas arrive to school early with one simple thought: how many miles can I run before school today? Since the start of the 20102011 school year, when Fitzness International LLC began implementing its Morning Mile fitness program, participating students have logged about 200,000 total miles, leaving them ready to start the school day focused on their academic performance. The Morning Mile is a before-school walking/running program that gives children the chance to start their day in an active way while enjoying fun, music and friends. Its also supported by a wonderful system of rewards, which keeps students highly motivated and frequently congratulated.
Matching schools up with corporate sponsors is how Fitzness International, has made this massive movement for motion work. A fat loss review can help you produce a clear describe of what you demand to focus on to accomplish your fat reduction objective if you're a starter; or serve as a reminder for these who are at an advanced or more enhance phase of their losing weight plan. Promptly after are seven steps that can serve as instructions for your personal weight loss plan. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not exactly the same thing. Many weight loss plans have tricked people into considering that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss applications only work by causing a person's body to eliminate more muscle flesh and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. With sponsors like AvMed Health Plans, HMA Hospitals and various local businesses, schools are provided with the necessary equipment, which includes a stereo, chain necklaces and reward charms, guidelines and online management programs utilized to make the Morning Mile a success. Fitzness International President, Fitz Koehler, says that the program is magical because the adults involved have to exert very little effort to make this things work, but the kids exert an amazing amount of energy having fun while getting fit. With school budgets being cut, we dont charge schools to participate; instead we match them with a sponsor who enjoys fantastic marketing benefits. Its a win-win in so many ways! At the top of our wish list is a corporation or individual who understands the power of a health population to come forward and help get more kids moving in the mornings."
AvMed is thrilled that so many students have benefited from the Morning Mile program, said AvMed Health Plans CEO Michael P. Gallagher. By incorporating exercise early in the day, Morning Milers have been able to harness their energy into running so they come into the classroom ready to learn.
With childhood obesity a sad epidemic in our country, the Morning Mile has been a welcome contribution to our school system, said Alachua County (Florida) Superintendent Dr. Dan Boyd. With budgets tight, the Morning Mile is a brilliant way to ensure school children have the opportunity to earn healthy bodies, which in turn enhances their ability to learn.
The Morning Mile program, developed by Fitzness International in Gainesville, is now available to about 65,000 students of all ages who attend Morning Mile schools. Unlike exclusive running clubs, the Morning Mile is available to 100% of the student body, and all students can voluntarily participate each day of the school year if they like. Most schools have between 50 - 150 students running before school each day. The program has been so successful that more than 100 schools nationwide are on a waiting list hoping a corporation or individual will sponsor them soon.
The beauty of the Morning Mile is that this incredibly simple program has inspired thousands of kids to voluntarily run each day. Not because theyre worried about their waistlines, but because they think its fun and it makes them feel good. Its a powerful force in the fight against childhood obesity! says Koehler. Im thrilled the program has been so popular already and look forward to expanding the program throughout the nation as soon as possible."
The reward system: Once a student completes five miles, they are given a necklace with a sneaker shaped charm; they earn another charm every time they complete another five miles. Students earn a coveted 100 charm for every 100 miles they run as well. They kids treat these rewards like diamonds they love them!
