Word of the Month.............



Perspiration (Sweat)
(
En español: Transpiración)
Say: pur-spuh-ray-shun
Perspiration is another name for sweat, the stuff that comes out of your skin through tiny holes called pores. Perspiration - which is mostly water - is your body's tool for keeping you cool when you get hot from exercise or hot weather. So next time you sweat, don't sweat it! It's just your body's way of chillin' you out.

Aerobic Activity
(
En español: Actividad aeróbica)
Say: air-oh-bik ak-tih-vih-tee

Get ready for a workout! Aerobic activity is any kind of movement that makes your muscles use oxygen. Aerobic activity gets your heart pumping, too. Swimming, dancing, and soccer are all types of aerobic activity, so hit that pool, dance floor, or soccer field and get moving!
