Launching Activate Phoenixville Area President's Challenge!

Activate Phoenixville Area (APA) has partnered with the White House on the President's Active Lifestyle Award(PALA). In partnership with the First Lady's Let's Move initiative, APA is working toward getting more Phoenixville area residents to move more and eat smart!

Here are the goals:

• Adults (ages 18 and older): You need to be active 30 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week, for 6 out of 8 weeks. As an alternative, you can count your daily activity steps using a pedometer (goal: 8,500).
• Kids and teens (ages 6 - 17 years): You need to be active 60 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week, for 6 out of 8 weeks. As an alternative, you can count your daily activity steps using a pedometer (girls' goal: 11,000; boys' goal: 13,000).
