‘So You Got Moves Expo’ tomorrow at STLCC Forest Park

The City of St. Louis Department of Health will be hosting the
second annual Let’s Move STL Presents: So You Got Moves Expo
tomorrow (Sat., Feb. 11) at St. Louis Community College – Forest
Park. The Expo will focus on healthy lifestyle promotion for
families within our community and is aligned with First Lady
Michelle Obama’s national Let’s Move initiative to solve the
obesity epidemic.

Lets’ Move STL, together with SPP Production, Saint Louis
University’s Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, St. Louis
Public Schools, City of St. Louis Public Safety Youth Empowerment
in Action (YES), and other local organizations that focus on
promoting healthy lifestyles, planned a fun-filled event for the
whole family. Fitness activities, along with nutrition and cooking
educations, will provide residents with ways to implement healthy
choices into their daily lives. Flu shots will also be offered
during the activity.

“Participants will have a blast showing-off their skills in
3-on-3 basketball tournaments, hula-hooping their way across the
gym, and enjoying double-dutch with their friends,” said Melissa
Ramel, Health Department Dietitian. “Additionally, Let’s Move STL
participants will have an opportunity to show off their moves in
the Let’s Move dance routine at the Expo.”

By engaging families in education and activity, this event
provides an exciting opportunity to focus on fighting diseases
related to poor diet and fitness habits. This event is free and
open to the public.

STL Presents: So You Got Moves Expo will be held at Forest Park
Community College on February 11th, 2012, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00
