Today's Wednesday Wellness message is Get Moving! We are continuing the theme of the importance of physical fitness for teens since May is Physical Fitness Month.
1. Regular Exercise is important to teenagers because it helps maintain their physical and mental health.
2. Teens should strive for at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity daily, aiming to spend less time being sedentary and more time being active. This includes reducing screen time usage on the computer, cell phones, and TV.
3. If teenagers can discover physical activities they enjoy, they are more likely to exercise on a regular basis and continue exercising into adulthood.
4. Aerobic exercise increases the heart and breathing rate, stengthens the heart muscle, and improves oxygen delivery to all body parts. Activities that provide a good aerobic workout include hockey, soccer, rowing, basketball, tennis, hiking, dancing, aerobics, brisk walking, runing, and biking.
5. Strength training exercises such as pushups, pullups, squats, leg raises and crunches increase muscle mass and help build strong arm, leg, and stomach muscles.

Today we will recognize the "behind the scenes" heroes of HMS - our hard working and dedicated custodians, cafeteria staff and bus drivers. STAR members presented the custodians and cafeteria staff with many notes of thanks from students along with small tokens of appreciation this morning. We will surprise our bus drivers at the end of the day today. So when you see these HMS heroes in the halls, lunchroom or on the bus today, take a moment to thank them in person: Let them know how grateful you are for all they do to keep us safe and healthy every day!
