Families plan different things over spring break. Some travel, others stay around Owensboro. No matter where you are, exercise is possible. If the weather is pleasant, go outside. If conditions aren’t favorable for play outside, exercise indoors. Hopefully the weather will be nice wherever you are. Some pertinent information about the contest: Each student and family member that decides to participate in the competition will keep a chart or table documenting exercise. The information that needs to be included is the name of person exercising, type of exercise, and duration (i.e. 30 min, 60 min). Here is an example of how the chart/table can look: NAME EXERCISE DURATION Michael Walker Ride bicycle on Greenbelt 45 min. Gina Walker (mother) Ride bicycle on 45 min.
