Introducing PACES Day

November 15th, 2006 by Len Saunders

As I launch new children’s fitness programs, I will always post them here first for my regular visitors.  I am going to begin a new program in December 2006 called PACES Day.  The number of overweight children and adults around the globe has significantly increased over the last twenty years. For two decades, Project ACES (All Children Exercise Simultaneously) has motivated millions of children to exercise in over 50 countries. In celebration of the 20th anniversary of Project ACES (May 2008), I now introduce PACES. PACES is an acronym for ‘Parents And Children Exercise Simultaneously.’ PACES Day takes place every weekend throughout the year, highlighted on the first Saturday in May. Children need daily, quality physical education in schools, and exercise time at home (PACES).  Families will sign up to exercise together every Saturday throughout the year as a way of promoting fitness and family time.  To learn more about the program, click here.
