You should get in at least 60 minutes of physical activity in everyday by doing activities you like to do. You do not need to get all 60 minutes of activity in at one time. You can be active in short bursts and work your way up throughout the day.&nbsp; There are three different types of physical activity: strength, flexibility, and endurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Strength<\/strong> activities work and build your muscles. Strength activities can include lifting weights, carrying groceries, using resistance bands, doing squats, and several sports like football.<strong><\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Flexibility<\/strong> activities stretch your muscles. Flexibility activities make it easier for you to bend down to tie your shoes and look over your shoulder. Examples of flexibility activities are stretching, yoga, and dancing. It is important to always stretch after doing endurance or strength activities.&nbsp; <strong><\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Endurance<\/strong> activities, also called aerobic activities, strengthen your heart and lungs. You may feel an increase in your heart rate, start to breathe heavier, and even sweat while doing endurance activities. Examples of endurance activities are brisk walking, jogging, yard work, climbing the stairs, and some sports, like basketball. <strong><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>How are you going to stay active this winter?

WHY ARE WE DOING IT?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Social distancing <\/strong>means staying away from other people to slow down the spread of the coronavirus. People catch COVID-19 from other people who already have it. By closing schools and businesses and <strong>staying home<\/strong>, we can make sure fewer people will catch it at one time. This makes it easier for hospitals to help the people who get very sick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HOW LONG WILL THIS LAST?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No one knows. Social distancing could last for <strong>weeks or months<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But here\u2019s the good news: <strong>There are lots of people working to fight COVID-19<\/strong>. Doctors and nurses are taking care of people with the virus. Scientists are looking for new medicines. Factory workers are making hospital supplies. Grocery store workers are making sure people can buy food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can help them by <strong>staying home and wearing a mask <\/strong>if you have to be in public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>WHAT SHOULD I DO?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Keep eating healthy foods! <\/strong>Try your best to fill your plate with GO foods: \u2013 <strong>Fruits <\/strong>like apples or grapes<br>\u2013 <strong>Vegetables <\/strong>like broccoli, carrots, or squash<br>\u2013 <strong>Proteins <\/strong>like chicken, fish, or beans<strong><\/strong><\/li><li>\u2013 <strong>Dairy <\/strong>products like low-fat milk or yogurt<br>\u2013 <strong>Grains <\/strong>like oatmeal, whole-grain pasta, or brown rice<strong><\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Keep exercising! <\/strong>It\u2019s OK to <strong>play outside <\/strong>if you stay at least 6 feet away (about 3 BIG steps) from other people.<strong><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 Stuck inside?
