Fitness Pledge Examples

We, the students of Fellows Elementary School, pledge to eat the right kinds of food for our bodies, exercise at least one hour every day, stretch often, get enough rest at night, get involved in an activity of interest and just have fun with life!
 

I pledge each and every day to keep my body healthy, strong and physically fit!

I can do this by eating healthy foods, drinking plenty of water, breathing in fresh air, and having good character.

I understand that it is very important for me to stay physically active throughout my lifetime.

I pledge each and every day to keep my body healthy, strong and physically fit!
 

Running and jumping
Monkey bars too,
Swing sets and playgrounds
Are good for you.

20 minutes of exercise is really ok,
Now go on ahead and play everyday,
Sleeping and resting and laying down,
Will make you happy and not make you frown. 
Have eight whole hours,
You'll gain Super-Powers,
And be able to play throughout every day.

Now…

Apples and grapefruit,
Peaches and pears,
Help you stay healthy and well through the years.
Broccoli and Spinach, Vegetable Stew,
You may not like these
But they will help you.

You may think you know all,
But do you know this?
Water is healthy, and
This you can't miss,
Drink lots of water,
Eat, play, and sleep too.
