Every one of us is different, and that makes us interesting and special. Some of us are tall, some short, some have dark hair, some have light. Some of us are thinner than average, and some of us are heavier. The differences in the way we look aren't important. What is important is how we feel on the inside-our health and happiness.

Staying fit and healthy is everyone's job. It's up to you to take good care of your body-it's the only one you've got! Keeping your body at a healthy weight is important for avoiding health problems, and also helps you feel your best. You can achieve a fit body by eating the right amounts of nutritious foods and getting plenty of exercise every day.

Making time for fitness with your family is more fun that going it alone, and everyone benefits. For example, you can shop for healthy foods with your parents, and play sports, take a hike, or ride bikes together. Plan some family relaxation time, too-everyone needs to rest sometime! The rewards you get from keeping in shape are awesome, and you'll be amazed at what you can all accomplish when you work together to keep your bodies healthy!
