Run for Prez

Hold your excitement - today is the day the National President’s Challenge starts.

Here’s how it works: you commit to 30 minutes of exercise five days a week for six out of eight weeks. You keep track of your activities on the Web site. Anyone age 6 or older can participate (although if you’re under 18 the challenge is 60 minutes instead of 30). Here is a sampling of activities that qualify:

Aerobics
Baton Twirling (Hi Jen!)
Bicycling (Hi Chris!)
Bowling (Duck?)
