Description
Exercise to Achievement is a new program designed by the Tri 4 Schools organization. This program is an eight week after-school training and life-skills program running March-May 2014 that helps children train for a Spring triathlon or mud run, while focusing on the mental benefits of being active. Teachers from six participating schools will lead groups of 30-40 elementary and middle school children through swimming, biking, running lessons, and strength conditioning, with a social/emotional component accompanying each training session.
Goal / Mission
Tri 4 Schools encourages kids to participate in swimming, biking, and running as a way to live an active lifestyle and support health and fitness resources in schools.
Impact
Results of Exercise to Achievement are pending completion of the pilot program.
Results / Accomplishments
Exercise to Achievement is being piloted in six schools in spring 2014, and results will be posted upon completion.

A Good Idea meets the following HCI criteria:
- The program description includes: the sponsoring organization, program goals, program funding source, program implementation steps and outcomes.
- The program evaluation is limited to descriptive measure(s) of success/accomplishment (i.e., program participation rates, number of services/education sessions/radio messages provided). Note: oftentimes, the program has been newly implemented and a program evaluation has not yet been conducted. Programs that have not yet been evaluated, but which show promise in improving health or quality of life, are classified as Good Ideas until an evaluation is conducted.
