May is National Physical Fitness and Sports Month

An annual observance since 1983, National Physical Fitness and Sports Month is promoted by President's Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition to engage, educate, and empower all Americans to adopt a healthy lifestyle that includes regular physical activity. If you haven't already earned your PALA+, maybe you could use this month as inspiration to get started and get recognized as you incorporate more physical activity into your life.

As a part of the month-long celebration, shorter observances also occur throughout May:
  • National Physical Education and Sport Week (May 1-7)
  • National Women's Health Week (May 8 through May 14)
  • Bike-to-Work Week (May 16-20)
  •  National Employee Health and Fitness Day (May 18)
  • National Kids to Parks Day (May 21)
  • National Senior Health and Fitness Day (May 25)
Start getting ready by joining the conversation online and follow the #PCFSN hashtag to stay up-to-date on National Physical Fitness and Sports Month, as well as PCFSN news and updates.
