Elementary Schools' Fitness Walk Highlights

5/11/2018

 
​Kyrock and South Edmonson Family Fitness Walk A Great Success
Picture
Edmonson Voice Staff Report:
The fourth annual Family Fitness Walk was held on Saturday, April 28th, at Edmonson County High School. Over 75 people registered for the event where Kyrock Elementary and South Edmonson Elementary students and family members could walk/run their choice of number of laps on the ECHS track.

Students, who could earn Recess Walking Club points by participating in the event, would proudly ring a bell each time they completed a lap on the track. Students used a pulse meter to track their heart rate. Once participants completed their laps, they visited activity stations (set up by a group of WKU Physical Education majors) that included hula hoops, jump ropes, bean bag toss, ball toss and a pushup station where students could challenge their parent/guardian to a pushup contest.

Nutrition related hands-on activities that educated students on healthy food choices accompanied the healthy snack table where bananas, carrots, lightly salted pretzels  and bottled water were provided.
