The summer months are upon us! As the days get longer and the weather heats up, take advantage of the extra hours of sunshine to get outdoors and be physically active with your friends, coworkers, and family. When heading outside for activity and fun in the sun this month, always remember to grab your sunscreen and a reusable water bottle to protect your skin from the summer sun and to keep your body hydrated.

This month, celebrate National Running Day on June 5 and National Get Outdoors Day on June 8!

How are you or your organization enjoying the great outdoors this month? E-mail us at physicalactivityguidelines@hhs.gov if you would like to contribute a blog post!
