Post your Active Pics! – Family Activity Day
With fewer than 15% of Saskatchewan children and youth being active enough each day, it’s more important than ever to encourage an active lifestyle.

Meet Nafisa! SK in motion’s new Youth Ambassador!
Being physically active didn’t seem that important to me. However, being on the Lieutenant Governor’s leadership forum changed my whole perspective. On the forum, my fellow participants and I were expected to run, jog, or walk every morning for an hour. At first I wasn’t looking forward to going out at 6:30 AM to go walk, but it wasn’t long before I got used to it. I began enjoying these walks, and I realized how much energy it gave me throughout our very busy days. I wanted to become an ambassador, because now I understand the importance of being physically active.
Gaming Getting Physical?
I’ve never been a big gamer, but that may be about to change. ..They are calling it “Full Body Gaming” huh? The website says: “Controller-free gaming means full body play. Kinect responds to how you move. So if you have to kick, then kick. If you have to jump, then jump. You already know how to play. All you have to do now is to get off the couch.”
