Nickelodeon goes off the air for playtime
Filed under: Teens, Health & Safety: Babies, Nutrition: Health, In The News, Media, That's Entertainment
If your kids are glued to Nickelodeon tomorrow afternoon and the television suddenly goes dark, don't panic. You didn't forget to pay your cable bill, the kid's network is actually purposefully suspending programming for three hours. As part of their fourth annual worldwide day of play, the television goes off and hopefully the kids get outside for some exercise and fresh air.
Try to keep them out there until at least 6pm EDT/PDT, when Nickelodeon will air the Let's Just Play Go Healthy Challenge, where they spotlight the exercise activities of some of the 750,000 kids who made a promise to do their part to fight childhood obesity.
Together with the Alliance for a Healthier Generation, Nickelodeon has been documenting kids' efforts to get healthy and one boy in particular has made some great strides. Through the program, 13-year-old Kenderick, a self-described "couch potato who played video games and didn't go outside much", has dropped 40 pounds and learned to swim and ride a bike.
He didn't just learn to swim and ride, he shaped up well enough to take part in a triathlon, where he swam 100 yards, biked four miles and ran another mile. I am not sure I am up for that myself.
Kenderick hopes his accomplishments will inspire other kids, but he's not done yet. "I still want to lose weight but I want to work on my muscles now," he said. "I want to get ripped now."
