Fitness Frankie visits the NASCAR Hall of Fame!


Hi everyone,
     I just had to share my latest adventure with you!  Mrs. R went to a very special conference in Charlotte, North Carolina recently.  I did not know that race cars are very popular in Charlotte! In fact, the NASCAR Hall of Fame was right down the street from where we were staying!  I could not believe it, but there was a special event there and Mrs. R took me there with some friends!  It was AMAZING!  The car in the picture is a race car from many years ago.  Isn't it cool?  Mrs. R was at a conference with a bunch of other PE teachers and she learned some new activities!  That's me in the picture with the giant tennis ball and racket!
I can't wait to try them out!  I LOVE Healthy Highway!  
Love, Fitness Frankie

Physical Eddie's Adventure in Mrs. C's class!

Hi everyone,   
     Physical Eddie here!  My visit to Mrs. C's kindergarten class was interesting and energetic.  The children had so much to share with me about their perspective on being healthy.  They reminded me that healthy is a mind, spirit, body connection and that engaging your mind by choice each day supports a healthy mind and spirit.  Yes, we did eat fruit and yogurt for snack and danced for exercise as well but in addition to those choices they taught me how to use yoga breathing to calm and center my body and mind.  Most of all they exemplified how joyful learning is an important key to health!  During PE class we learned about healthy foods and how we should make a healthy plate,and I even got to use my very own yoga mat when we learned some new yoga poses!  Fitness Frankie was right.  Healthy Highway is the only way to go!  I LOVE Healthy Highway!  How about you?
Love,
Physical Eddie

Fitness Frankie's and Physical Eddie's Spring Break Adventure!

Can you see us?
Hi everyone,
A healthy walking trail!
       Physical Eddie and I just got back from an amazing adventure during Spring Break!  It was actually Physical Eddie's first adventure away from home so I showed him the ropes!  We went to Virginia and North Carolina to visit with family and friends of Mrs. R.  First, we went to Virginia and met with Mrs. R's nephew.  He works in Washington, DC!  Next, we went to North Carolina and visited with friends and family there too!  We got to walk on a special hiking trail, play golf with Mrs. R's twin brother, go to a special museum about the state of North Carolina, and make new friends with Dean - a boxer dog, Yukon - a yellow lab, and Maggie - also a yellow lab that was a foster dog.  She got adopted while we were there!  On our way back home we stopped at the Shenandoah National Park.  It was beautiful!  That's me and Physical Eddie in the picture!  We were so high up in the mountains that there was still snow on the ground, but we were warm in our sweatshirts.  Mrs. R. is making a book about our adventure!  Physical Eddie understands now why I am excited all of the time!  It is just one amazing adventure after another!  We LOVE Healthy Highway!  How about you?

Our new friend Dean!
Golf!
