Energy Balance 101

Quick Tip:

Sprinkle intervals into a cardio routine

"by alternating short, fairly intense bursts of cardio exercise with relatively longer, easier exercise."

Giving Kids the Support
they Need for an Active,
Healthy Lifestyle

Too many children today are at risk for serious diseases at an early age. They need resources and leadership to maintain a balance between the energy they consume and the energy they expend through physical activity. Energy Balance: 101 is based on that foundation, offering communities the guidance they need to support children.
