The Get Fit Tennessee Team is based out of the Commissioner of Health's office in Nashville, with team members spread out across the state in each Health Department. The team makes several stops across the state to help promote events involving healthy living and spread the news about Get Fit Tennessee. You can see where we're headed next on the calendar page, where you see the Get Fit symbol. If we're available, we'll make every effort to attend events that involve health promotion. We tailor our plans for each stop based on each event. We're happy to discuss options with you once a time and date of your event has been confirmed and we've agreed to attend. If you think Get Fit Tennessee would be a valuable addition to your event, please post your event on the calendar and send us an email.
Please post your event on our website and send us an email with the details. Several members of the Get Fit Tennessee Team are available to speak at events involving health, nutrition or fitness.

Tennessee schools are required to provide children with 90 minutes of physical activity each week, according to Chapter 1001 Public Acts, 2006 House Bill 3750.
It is mandated that each local education agency will integrate a minimum of 90 minutes of physical activity per week into the instructional school day for elementary and secondary school students. Opportunities to engage in physical activity may include walking, jumping rope, playing volleyball or other forms of physical activities that promote fitness and well-being.
If you would like your child to have more physical activity in school, it is important to take the issue up with your local education agency, school board, principal or other school and community leaders.
