Current Level of Activity ● The CDC recommends 60 minutes of activity/day for children and adolescents, that equals 420 minutes/week ● Our school currently has 30 minutes of recess, 5 days a week and 60 minutes of PE, once a week, totaling 210 minutes of 420 min (recommended) activity per week - 210 min (current) --------------------------------------- ● That leaves 210 minutes per week , or 42 210 min (unaccounted for) minutes per day, that children must account for outside of school Night, N.
