I like the idea of children being active in physical endeavors but it seems that more and more of the popular things to do are so passive. Sit and watch television or play a video game for hours on the Play Station or Internet. Taking this problem in hand is a website called  SOGO Active. Funded by Coca-Cola Canada has been instrumental in retaining a company ParticipACTION a voice for physical activity in Canada. Together they created sogoactive.com which is available so children can get interested in physical activity and find out the importance of keeping their bodies in good physical condition. The site is very cool you sign up and track your own course and success. It suggests ideas for healthy activity and gives some easy tools that can be downloaded and used by the members to track their progress. This work is so important and the site goes right out to the person who can fix the problem. No matter how many ads are run on tv or slogans from sports stars, the work has to start at the child’s level and change expectations for future generations. This program is available right now in Canada and I hope my friends there will look at the SoGo site and use it or encourage their children to use it for their healthier life!
