"World's Largest Exercise Class" Gets Kids Active Around The Globe

For less than an hour. Once a year. Quite a victory.

In conjunction with May as Exercise is Medicine® Month, "The World's Largest Exercise Class" is coming to children and schools around the world today.

Project ACES® (All Children Exercise Simultaneously) engages millions of children, parents and teachers each year to participate in physical activity at their schools and homes. Through Project ACES, children learn the value and importance of good nutrition, adequate physical fitness and healthy decision-making - lessons they can carry well into adulthood.

The 23rd-annual Project ACES Day will take place today, with most events occurring at 10 a.m. local time. Project ACES is the signature program of the nonprofit Youth Fitness Coalition (YFC), which is based in New Jersey. Project ACES clubs continue the momentum all year.

Schools can choose their activity, from walking to jogging, from martial arts to dancing. Students typically exercise for 15 to 45 minutes following an educational component.
