Help Georgia Set a World Record for Physical Activity

 
People of all ages are making history by participating in the country's first national movement led by children to get everyone moving.  

Set for Sept. 27 at 10 a.m. local time, both children and adults will do a fun, easy one-minute fitness routine as part of JAM World Record 2012 with Let's Move in School. This inaugural national initiative has been created to raise awareness about the importance of everyone making good health choices and physical activity a daily habit. People of all ages and abilities are invited to pause and join in, wherever they are at 10 a.m. your local time. Businesses, corporations and organizations are being asked to support this important initiative that focuses on creating a healthier nation!    

In the spirit of friendly fun, the state that recruits the most people to participate will be awarded the National JAM Title. To date, there are more than 567,000 participants in all 50 states and Georgia is ranked 12th. Join by going to www.jamworldrecord.org to be counted in Georgia's totals and learn the easy routine. Follow the buzz on Twitter by using the hash tag: #jam4pe. Be sure to use the hash tag in all of your messages.

JAM World Record 2012 with Let's Move in School was created as a partnership to raise awareness about the importance of quality physical activity and physical education programs in schools by the JAM School Program, ConnectTIVITY, Let's Move in School and Buy4.com. Momentum is building as schools, corporations, athletes and high profile organizations support and get excited about an effort of this kind that has been created to draw the nation's attention to healthy and active lifestyles.
