Everyone needs physical activity to be healthy. But when, where, and how you get that activity is entirely up to you! Move Your Way®, the promotional campaign for the second edition of the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, aims to help people of all ages and abilities find safe and fun ways to get active. And now, you can share how you move with the world!

The Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP) is pleased to announce its next webinar: in the Healthy People 2030 Webinar Series: Strengthening Resilience in Children and Adolescents. This webinar will take place on Wednesday, June 28 from 1:00 to 2:00 pm ET. ODPHP and the National Center for Health Statistics will present on the webinar’s three featured objectives, and Healthy People 2030 Champion, Adaptive Sports Ohio, will present on their efforts to increase participation in sports teams for children and adolescents with physical disabilities.

In May we celebrate two National Health Observances, Older Americans Month and National Physical Fitness and Sports Month, both of which offer opportunities to explore the benefits of regular physical activity and their importance to healthy aging. Older adults – individuals aged 65 years and older – can reap big rewards from sitting less and moving more. 

In 2018, ODPHP created the Move Your Way® campaign to promote the second edition of the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. Now we’ve created the Get to Know the Move Your Way Campaign video to provide helpful information about Move Your Way and how community organizations can use it.
