President's Council on Fitness

Every now and again, I hear a reference to the President's Council on Fitness. But in truth, I don't know too much about it. So, I checked it out. And you can too.

The website link is here.

Dominique Dawes and Drew Brees are co-chairs at this time, and Billie Jean King is a member of the council.

The organization is far more active than I imagined. The array of programs are impressive, and the resources informative. They have a foundation. They post to a blog and tweet away. Be sure to read the history page. It started with Eisenhower, and each subsequent administration has added to the structure, the programs, the interactions with the public, and so on. Really good stuff.

This is a valuable resource for the American public. Take a look, perhaps you'll find something new and interesting to inform your health and fitness.
