Did you know that just 10 minutes of physical activity daily can set the foundation for lifelong health and wellness? Consistent movement improves cardiovascular health, strengthens muscles, enhances focus, and builds confidence—all in just a small amount of time each day!

Why 10 Minutes Matters:

✅ Builds Healthy Habits: Starting small creates sustainable routines.

✅ Improves Focus: Exercise boosts blood flow to the brain, helping kids stay sharp for schoolwork.

✅ Enhances Physical Literacy: Short, fun activities improve balance, coordination, and strength over time.

✅ Supports Emotional Well-being: Movement reduces stress and boosts mood.
