Healthy Moves Healthy Moves is a not-for-profit organization bringing movement, fitness and fun to youth in our community.

Healthy Moves is a not-for-profit organization created to prevent childhood obesity and inspire a love of movement in K-8 students by providing in-school programs, classroom teacher support, and community connection through educational fitness. Due to school budget cuts, many physical education teaching positions have been eliminated. Healthy Moves trainers work with students and their classroom teacher to demonstrate fitness activities and provide a model for the teacher to use in future PE classes. Healthy Moves provides fitness formats that can be used by all teachers of grades one through five. Physical activity supports healthy social, cognitive, and physical development in children. National experts recommend that elementary-age children get 60 minutes or more of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity each day. Yet, research shows that children are failing to reach even minimal benchmarks for age-appropriate physical activity. Among kids that are age 6-11, 13 percent are now obese, and this unhealthy number has been increasing. Healthy Moves for Kids provides fun ways for kids to get the physical activity that they need to be healthy.

Thanks too the Springfield Education Foundation for supporting Healthy Moves JumpStart program so we can continue to work with Maple Elementary School and get the kids moving in the morning! Support local and let’s keep our kids “healthy” 👊🏾😊

🏃‍♀️🌟 The best days start with movement! Thanks to a SEF Frank Sherman Grant to Maple Elementary School, Principal Megan Knight is ensuring that their students get their wiggles out through the Healthy Moves program! Four mornings per week, students in kindergarten through 5th grade get moving with UO student trainers through games, cardio activities, warm-ups, and even yoga stretches before heading to class. We’re excited to help keep those healthy moves happening all school year long! 💪🎉

"Healthy Moves provides students a way to move their bodies, interact with peers and work with trainers before the start of school each day. This opportunity for activity helps to prepare them for learning when they enter their classroom and provides a way to release some of the bottled up energy they enter the building with each morning." - Megan Knight
