Ritualistic

I have just heard about this thing called “SOGO Active“, also known as “The Sickest Way To Live Healthy” (just as the subject of this post says!). I think it’s a very good program to get our youth more active. Too many video games and internet activities have taken away from physical fitness and, more importantly, physical fun! All doctors agree that physical activity is important and vital for all people, especially the ones that are still growing! As small children we run and play hide and seek or sports, but as we get older these things diminish and their shine begins to wear off a bit for other activities, such as things that require less physical involvement and more mental. There is nothing wrong with this of course, but the balance shifts. Why do you think so many of our youth is over weight? It’s many factors, but the lack of physical activity adds to the problem.

This is what’s good about SOGO! SOGO is about movement! Which is my favorite part of it. It also requires group activity, so someone moves and then gets their friends to move with them!

Here is some additional info. about this great program:

Coca-Cola Canada has retained ParticipACTION, the national voice of physical activity and sport participation in Canada, to assist in the design and execution of SOGO Active, a unique approach and framework for inspiring “for youth by youth” group activity in the community.

* SOGO Active is unlike any other youth fitness initiative because it gives young Canadians the tools to design, change and control their own individual get active plan.
* ParticipACTION designed the concept and content of SOGO Active and created a network of provincial and territorial organizations that will help activate the program.
* Grass root organizations will provide support for youth groups that participate in SOGO Active within their communities, including assisting with access to facilities, equipment and resources that youth require for their activities.
