Parents And Children Exercise Simultaneously (PACES) 


Not only will families sign up to exercise together on PACES Day, but they are now committing to exercise every Saturday as a family. PACES Day is not a once a year event, but a weekly event.

ACES day, first Saturday in May each year, will draw attention to people all over the world exercising together. This is the motivational tool for the children. PACES Day is meant to kick start an exercise session with the family.

Now you can enjoy two wonderful programs each year to get you up and moving. Project ACES will always take place on the first Wednesday in May, while PACES Day will always take place on the first Saturday that follows ACES day.  Tell all the families you know about PACES. The word of mouth is what made Project ACES a huge success, and the same can happen with the PACES program. If you are a teacher, here is a way to motivate your children to exercise at home. Tell the students to share information about PACES with their parents. The same applies to coaches, recreation departments, and health clubs. Share the information with your neighbours, schools, and friends to get them involved. Tell your fellow employees at your work place about PACES Day. Let's make PACES Day a huge success. Remember to sign-up today so your family is recognized as participating with the millions worldwide. IT'S FREE!
