Welcome Teachers!
Important information about physical activity and school performance

Congratulations on joining the GetSweaty family and for your
commitment to the health and well-being of your students.

We all know that daily physical activity is a key component of a

healthy lifestyle and an excellent tool in the fight against epidemic

childhood obesity. But did you also know studies have proven that

physical activity can help improve academic performance and school

behavior? GetSweaty provides an easy-to-use tool

to get and keep your students fit and help them learn better.

GetSweaty.com is truely a win-win resource. 

• It’s free for you to use in the classroom and for your
  students to use at home.
  

• It’s never boring. We offer a new and different workout
  video each day called the Daily Sweat.
  

• Kids stay motivated thanks to a rich point system that
  rewards them with valuable prizes just for working out.
  

• Start a CREW and earn Cash for your Class, a bonus point
  system that offers cash for classroom supplies or other
  school needs.

• GetSweaty is all set up and ready for you each day. It requires
  only free, simple equipment like cans, milk jugs and string. And
  thanks to our Teacher Tool, you can keep track of your students’
  usage outside of school, as well as in the classroom, even if you
  use it as a group. No one ever misses out on their points.   

You can use Getsweaty as simply as assigning it for recess or homework,
or fully incorporating it into your classroom curriculum.
