Up and at 'Em: Easy Ways to Get Fit and Eat Right is designed to provide a fun, easy way to get students moving, increase their energy, and improve their coordination and gross motor skills as they learn to work cooperatively. The flexible nine-week curriculum integrates physical activity and nutrition into any after school program.
The Up and at 'Em approach, based on the work of fitness trainer Keena White, is used in hundreds of after school programs throughout the United States to help thousands of elementary-age children reach fitness and nutrition goals.
Up and at 'Em is organized into nine easy-to-implement themes:
Healthy Eating
Games, Games, Games
Partner Up!
Down on the Farm
Dairy Deliciousness
Everything in Moderation
Choosing Favorites
Healthy Eating Review
Be Active!
Up and at 'Em was developed by AlphaBest Education, Inc., in collaboration with Keena White, an International Sports Sciences Association-certified fitness trainer.
