Choking

with
the
President’s
Council
on
Fitness,
Sports,
&
Nutri5on
in
honor
of
Na5onal
Physical
Fitness
and
Sports
Month.
During
the
month

we
challenge

include
30
minutes
of
physical
ac5vity
every
day. Did
you
know
that
regular
physical
ac5vity
increases
your
chances
of
living
a
longer,
healthier
life?
It
also
reduces
your
risk
for
high
blood
pressure,
heart
disease,
and
some
types
of
cancer.
Yet
in
Tennessee,
29.2%
of
the
popula5on
or
greater
for
more
than
70%
of
coun5es
don’t
get
enough
physical
ac5vity!
The
Physical
Ac?vity
Guidelines
for
Americans
recommend
that
people:
•
Aim
for
2
hours
and
30
minutes
of
moderate
aerobic
ac5vity
each
week.Moderate
ac5vity
includes
things
like
walking
fast,
dancing,
swimming,
and
raking
leaves.

COACH’S CORNER April 2013
I
was
very
proud
to
asend
the
Lawrence
County
Special

on
Friday
April
12th
to
support
Jeffrey
Lisrell
and
the
Yarbros
who
are
part
of
our
MillarRich

It
was
a
very
exci5ng
and
special
day
for
everyone
involved
with
Channel
4's
Snowbird
as
the
special
master
of
ceremonies.
The
games,
music
and
food
were
well
organized.
Special
kudos
to
Carol
and
Alvin
Yarbro
for
all
their
volunteer
efforts.
Well
done!
Jeffrey
has
been
involved
in
Special

Those

were
reinforced
watching
