Dust Off Your Jump Rope

 

 Remember recess from back in your school days? Climbing all over the jungle gyms, flying out of swings, picking teams for kickball or basketball, and 15 minutes of much needed freedom.

Well, why should kids have all the fun? UCLA Doctor Toni Yancey brought up the idea as part of a White House summit on childhood obesity. According to this article, Dr. Yancey's idea for bringing "short bursts of physical activity into the regular workplace" garnered a highly positive response from the attending audience.

It sounds like a good idea to me! Heaven knows I could use a little bit of physical activity during my workday.

I just hope I don't get picked last for office kickball.
