Here are some great safety tips for when
you being physically active.
-Wear proper footwear
like sneakers when running or playing sports
-If you are going to be
outdoors, remember to apply sunscreen to prevent sunburn
-Bring a water bottle
to keep hydrated and prevent overheating
-If you are biking, rollerblading,
skateboarding, etc., be sure to wear your helmet.
This is the final week of the Go for 42
Challenge. Be active and strive to accumulate 40 kms. Be sure to register for
the Mango Kids Fun Run which will be on Sunday, June 23rd at
10:30.
Did you know that it is important to warm up
your body before any physical activity? Warming up prepares your body
physically and mentally for exercising, and also helps prevent injuries. If you
are going for a run, you can warm up with some light jogging followed by some
stretching. So lace up your sneakers, “warm up”, get a friend and go for a run.
It’s Go for 42 time!

Playing outside with your friends is a fun and easy way to stay physically active.Running improves your heart, lungs, flexibility, and gives you more energy!
