Move Your Way^SM  

The Chicago Park District was selected to participate in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Move Your Way^SM campaign.  Move Your Way^SM was created to promote the second edition of the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. It aims to help people understand how much physical activity they need to be healthy and how to fit it into their daily lives.  In the long term, regular physical activity can help prevent chronic health problems like type 2 diabetes. In the short term, even small increases in physical activity can boost mood, reduce stress, and improve sleep.
