Let's Move Outside! is a part of the first lady's Let's Move! initiative aimed at solving the problem of childhood obesity. Let’s Move Outside! gives parents the tools they need to get their families moving outdoors. By linking parents to nearby parks, trails and waters – and providing tips and ideas – Let’s Move Outside! will help families become healthier and develop a more active lifestyle.
The U.S. Departments of the Interior (DOI) and Agriculture (USDA) are leading a coordinated Federal effort to get kids moving outside. Together, these agencies oversee more than one-fifth of the nation’s landmass, including nearly 200 million acres of National Forest, 84 million acres of National Parks, and over 60,000 miles of National Trails.
Join First Lady Michelle Obama, along with doctors, teachers, land managers, community leaders, and others in this nationwide campaign to tackle the challenge of childhood obesity by unplugging and reconnecting outside.
