Physical Fitness Tips

Found in the 2008 Santa Clara Council POW WOW book.
Here are some great tip on how to be physically fit.

  • Exercises alone won’t keep you physically fit. Good personal health care should be practiced daily. 

  • Bathe everyday, especially after exercising. 

  • Wash your hair at least twice a week. 

  • Brush your teeth at least twice a day. 

  • Visit your dentist regularly. 

  • Wear clean socks and clean underwear daily. 

  • Avoid eyestrain. Use good light. 

  • Use only your own wash cloth and towel. 

  • Stand up straight, don’t slouch. 

  • Get plenty of sleep – about 10 hours per night for Cub Scouts. 

  • Trim your fingernails and toenails. 

  • Wash your hands before eating. 

  • Wash your hands after using the bathroom. 

  • Protect your eyes! Don’t put anything in your ears! 

  • Don’t drink or eat from someone else’s cup, plate or utensils. That’s an easy way to catch their germs and get sick.

  • Eat right! A balanced diet will make you feel good! 

  • Get plenty of exercise to make you feel great!
