Click Guide

Regular outdoor exercise has been proven to increase children’s physical and mental health. Outdoor activity helps kids maintain a healthy weight, boosts their immunity and bone health, lowers stress and is FUN!

The Click Guide was created to bring kids and their families together to take advantage of America’s great outdoors. Parks, trails, museums, libraries, picnic areas, open fields, lakes, oceans, beaches ... Every city, town and community across this great country has access to the outdoors. More than one-fifth of the land in this country is dedicated to National forests, parks and trails. Why are we inside plugged into a video game console, hooked up to an MP3 and texting, all at the same time no less?

Kids need at least 60 minutes of active and vigorous play each day to stay healthy, and one of the easiest and most enjoyable ways to meet this goal is by playing outside. By linking families to nearby parks, trails and waters – and providing tips and ideas –The Click Guide can help families develop a more active lifestyle.

Click For Fitness will be using the Click Guide to feature different cities and connect families to the many outdoor activities available. We are asking everyone to submit YOUR favorite city.

San Francisco and Manhattan were featured last week:



BUT, then we got some submissions to Submit YOUR Favorite City.



WE LOVE THE SUBMISSIONS! Keep them coming.

Click For Fitness and the Click Guide aim to increase opportunities for kids to be physically active and to create new opportunities for families to play together.

Take The First Click!
