#SaludTues Tweetchat 1/3: “RESOLUTION: Physical Activity for HEALTH”

Share On Social!

Regardless of weight, physical activity is associated with positive health outcomes and physical inactivity with negative health outcomes.

To reduce health disparities among Latinos, we need to redefine the role of physical activity for lifelong health, starting with New Year’s Resolutions.

Resolutions, challenges, and goals, can help you be more active!

This looks different on everybody and on every body. For some, it may mean starting a walking plan, while for others it may mean playing with their kids more. Maybe you want to join Zumba classes with a group or maybe you want to pool-walk by yourself.

Join #SaludTues on January 3, 2017, at 1 p.m. EST to tweet about how we can use resolutions and challenges to be more physically active to stay our healthiest.
