Turn Off the TV...Turn on Your Life!

The average child spends more time in front of the TV (1,023 hours) than in school (900 hours). If you are worried that your family spends too much time in front of the TV, playing video games or chatting on line then join Coulee Region Childhood Obesity Coalition members and become part of the Coulee Region Turn Off the TV Challenge April 21^st - 27^th ! During this week, families are being challenged to turn off their TVs and exercise their both minds and their bodies by finding healthier alternatives. Rather than come home from school or work and plunk down in front of the TV, coalition members are encouraging challenge participants to enjoy their free time by reading a book, going on a picnic, walking or biking with a friend or listening (and dancing!) to their favorite music. The possibilities are limitless! Turning off the TV, video game or computer frees up time to spend with friends, family or enjoying favorite pastimes and help Coulee Region families stay healthy and strong. It's a great way to encourage healthy habits and build a healthy mind as well as a healthy body.
