National Physical Fitness and Sports Month, 2025

Document overview

Summary

During National Physical Fitness and Sports Month, we celebrate the foundational role that physical fitness and sports play in helping us to live longer, healthier, and more fulfilling lives. Through sports, fitness routines, and staying active, we have the opportunity to improve our health, strengthen our communities, and build a brighter future for our country. For far too long, our Nation has failed to prioritize the health and well-being of the American people. This negligence has come at a devastating cost. As a result, the United States lags behind other developed countries in life expectancy, chronic disease prevention, and overall public health outcomes.
