COMMUNITY CONNECTION INITIATIVE:
PHYSICAL FITNESS - GIVE THAT GLIMMER AND GLOW 

Regular physical activity – aerobic, muscle strengthening, and balance training – is one of the most important things you can do for your health. Regardless of age, abilities, ethnicity, shape, or size everyone can experience the benefits of physical activity.
Considering the facts provided, GFWC clubs are encouraged to plan a year-long project that will promote physical activity for any age group.


  • Partner with a home improvement store and other service organizations such as a Lions Club or Boy Scouts to purchase and build playground equipment for a shelter or special needs facility.
  • Partner with a sports store to provide fitness apparatus for a senior center or nursing home and sponsor classes in their use.
  • Plan a fitness trail in your community.
  • Partner with a shopping mall to sponsor walking clubs which include weekly or monthly physical fitness and nutrition presentations.
  • Work with local schools to implement the Presidential Youth Fitness Program in their curriculum.

So, let’s Get Fit Within our Communities. Give and get that glimmer and glow that a physical fitness activity will add to life.
