During the months of March, April and May, our Young Athletes will be working on their fitness with Special Olympics International’s Fit 5 program. Developed in 2017 and used currently in at least 36 countries, this program educates and empowers athletes to live a healthy lifestyle by supporting them in three simple goals: 5 days of physical activity per week, 5 fruits and vegetables per day, and 5 bottles of water per day. A set of Fitness Cards and videos have been created to highlight endurance, strength and flexibility exercises that athletes can do at home or as part of practice.
