Governor's Fitness Challenge

Governor Charlie CristDear Students, Teachers and Families,

Welcome to the Governor's Fitness Challenge for Elementary Schools. This program is one more incentive to help schools and families boost physical fitness for Florida's students.

This challenge was developed based on recommendations made by the Governor's Council on Physical Fitness and will incorporate five skill areas in which students can work to improve and chart their progress. Some of Florida's professional athletes and Olympians will encourage students along the way through weekly activity guides. Celebrity Chefs will also provide fun, healthy recipes for adults and children. Watch for healthy lifestyle and safety tips, too.

As Governor, I am committed to making all Floridians healthier and improving their quality of life. Florida is a great state to enjoy a healthy lifestyle. We have over 1,200 miles of coastline with award-winning beaches, a great climate with plenty of sunshine, and statewide access to numerous parks and greenways.

I hope families and teachers join me in encouraging students to participate in the Governor's Fitness Challenge or other activity programs at school and at home. By working together we can make Florida the healthiest state in the nation.

Sincerely,

Charlie Crist
