To recognize Childhood Obesity Awareness Month, Richmond Mayor Dwight C. Jones is encouraging Richmond residents to join more than 1.1 million people across the nation taking a fitness break at 10 a.m. today.
The inaugural National Just-A-Minute World Record Initiative is designed to raise awareness of the importance of incorporating physical activity into a child?s daily routine. The campaign also wants to ensure children learn healthy habits at a young age and that the nation?s schools offer quality physical education programs.
Across the nation, community members will come together to do a one-minute fitness routine, which is featured on the Jam World Record?s website, JamWorldRecord.org. In Richmond, the routine will be led by a Zumba instructor for Richmond Public Schools.
The mayor?s Healthy Richmond campaign, Let?s Move! Richmond, Richmond Public Schools, Richmond City Health District and Greater Richmond Fit4Kids will participate in the event. It will be held at 9:45 a.m. at the Marshall Plaza Courtyard, 900 E. Marshall St. The mayor will not be attending.
