The Presidential Active Lifestyle Award (PALA) recognizes students who participate in 6 weeks of daily physical activity of any type for 60 minutes a day and 5 days a week. There are also pedometer-based goals that require students to accumulate at least 11,000 steps per day for 6 weeks. Repeated 6-week participation merits additional recognition. For more information, view the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports Web site.
