Get the latest information on what's going on with Marshall County 4-H! Enrollment is in full swing. Members and Volunteers can sign up now for the new 4-H year.

Here are some helpful tips:

• Please keep all contact, emergency contact, and email information correct and current. This is how we contact you!
• If you are interested in getting information on any particular projects, please sign up for them. You are not committed to any projects you sign up for, but this is how we will share upcoming workshop information or project specific information to you. So if you think you may want info on a particular project, sign up!
• Read all of your 4-H communications carefully. There is a lot of information shared through out the year, and many times changes happen without notice. It's good practice to read your emails and check out your Club TeamReach/FB pages regularly!
• When the new 4-H Handbooks are posted, read through them. Projects are updated yearly and outlined changes are in RED text. Never assume that your project guidelines are the same each year.

The Move Your Way® campaign, led by the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, offers practical, evidence-based tools to help people understand how much activity they need and how to achieve it in ways that fit their lives. The campaign emphasizes that there is no one-size-fits-all approach — you can tailor physical activity to your schedule, preferences, and abilities.

Here are a few ideas to help you get started this month:

• Take a daily walk. A 10-minute walk after meals can help you build activity into your day.
• Try something new. Explore a local fitness class, join a recreational sports league, or experiment with activities like cycling, yoga, or pickleball.
• Make it social. Invite friends, family members, or coworkers to join you. Accountability and connection can make activity more enjoyable.
• Incorporate movement into routine tasks. Yard work, cleaning, and playing with kids all count toward your activity goals.

The recommended amounts for adults include at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week, along with muscle-strengthening activities on two or more days per week. But remember — if that feels overwhelming, start where you are. Gradual progress still delivers meaningful benefits.
