Physical activity in any form is a great way to keep children physically healthy as well as improving their mental wellbeing. Research shows that doing exercise influences the release and uptake of feel-good chemicals called endorphins in the brain. Even a short burst of 10 minutes physical activities positively increases mental alertness, energy and mood.
As our school has already initiated online/virtual classes for some classes and is in the process of including other classes as well, it becomes equally important to invest in their overall physical, emotional and mental well-being at home during this period. Keeping this in mind CBSE and Fit India Mission have collaborated to provide live sessions by experts covering a range of topics for the holistic well-being of the children, which will include simple tips around Basic Exercises, Nutrition, Yoga & Meditation, boosting immunity etc.
These sessions will be LIVE on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram daily at 9.30 AM starting from 15th April 2020, for a period of one month at the following links:
- Youtube: Fit India Movement
- Facebook: @FitIndiaOff
- Instagram: @fitindiaoff
All the live sessions are downloadable and can be made available as video capsules for any time, anywhere dissemination at a later point of time as well. The sessions will be curated keeping in mind the need to engage the trio of students, parents and teachers. The overall objective of these sessions will be to help children stay fit and healthy while pursuing online classes as well as help them to cultivate a sustainable and active lifestyle right from their younger days.
