Medal Race!

After you earn a President's Active Lifestyle Award PLUS , switch your challenge to Presidential Champion to work towards earning medals. The more you exercise, the more points you earn. The more points you earn, the faster you will earn a medal.

We have a medal race kicking off in January 2012 as a countdown to the London 2012 Summer Olympics. But don't wait. You don't have to be young, athletically gifted or part of an elite squad to earn these medals. You just have to go out and do something physical. Get started today!

Finish Strong!

The members of Let's Move SD Discovery Center are doing well in working towards their President's Challenge Awards. We have 7 bronze medal winners who are on track to earning silvers by the summer Olympics in July 2012. We have 3 more people who have earned their Presidential Active Lifestyle Award. Well done!

If you are member of the group and have fallen off in tracking, don't despair. You can restart tracking today and earn your PALA by the end of the year! Finish this year strong and healthy.

If you are just starting or re-staring your PALA adventure, you will notice that there is a new element: PALA +. PALA + adds a healthy eating goal to your workout goal of 5 workouts/week. Each week, you add an additional healthy eating goal such as choosing lower sodium versions of foods or adding whole grains to your menu.

Keep up the good work(outs)!
