The President’s Challenge is a program that encourages all Americans to make being active part of their everyday lives. No matter what your activity and fitness level, the President's Challenge can help motivate you to improve: https://www.presidentschallenge.org/

There are categories for all ages:

Kids: https://www.presidentschallenge.org/home_kids.aspx
Teens: https://www.presidentschallenge.org/home_teens.aspx
Adults: https://www.presidentschallenge.org/home_adults.aspx
Seniors: https://www.presidentschallenge.org/home_seniors.aspx

We know you're busy. Really busy. But finding time for fitness is easy - if you know where to look. The President’s Challenge will help you find a program that's right for you, with activities you like. Because the best way to stay active is to have fun doing it.

There is a fountain of youth. Millions have discovered it - the secret to feeling better and living longer. It's called staying active. All it takes is finding a program that works for you and sticking with it. And that's exactly where the President’s Challenge can help.

Staying active with others can be a lot of fun. They'll help keep you motivated - even when you don't really feel like it. Groups are a great way to meet new people. There are even programs for people at different activity levels: the Active Lifestyle program aimed at beginners, and the Presidential Champions program for those who are already active.

The President's Challenge lets you choose from almost 100 different activities. So you're sure to find at least one you like.

The President’s Challenge allows for groups to be set up so that you can track and compare your exercise and fitness with others within the group. Signing up for a group is simple. There's no limit to how many you can belong to. You can join or leave at any time.

I set up a Group for Pacemaker Club. The Pacemaker Club Group Number is 76065. You will need to enter this group number and the “Pacemaker Club” group name if you decide to register for the Pacemaker Club Group, but joining the group is not mandatory; i.e., you can still use the President’s Challenge program without joining the group. Also, you will need to select a username (you might want to use the same username you use on Pacemaker Club). I registered the group for Washington, DC as the location since that is the location for the President, and set it up as an “Individual” Group (vice Community, Government, School, or Workplace, which were the other choices).
