MoveIt4.org Motivates Teens to Stay Active This Summer
IRVINE, Calif. (June 17, 2010) – Summer is just around the corner, resulting in teens spending long hours at home in front of the TV and computer. According to the U.S. Surgeon General, only 25 percent of teens are active for the recommended 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that over 17 percent of teens are overweight and obese. Being out of an active daily routine of the school year compounds the issue for many teens.
MoveIt4.org motivates teens to keep fitness top of mind this summer, while focusing on the fun aspects of exercise. This website informs teens on ways they can burn calories by doing fun activities with their friends and how to achieve their individual goals.
As an added bonus, for a limited time, teens can receive a free song download in the “Music Moves Me” promotion. Just by connecting with MoveIt4.org through Facebook or Twitter, they can choose from millions of new and classic music tracks, to download any song of their choice, for free!
“Great music just naturally inspires us to be active” said Marty Matthews, MoveIt4’s director. “I have always used music to help me exercise and I am delighted that we can give away a free music download to help motivate teens in their fitness, and for helping us introduce MoveIt4’s free fitness and health content to others. I have three teenage sons and they are all taking advantage of this to get some new tunes they have been anxious to download for their iPods.”
