About LM!NOP
Part of the Let’s Move! Newark initiative, Let’s Move! Newark Our Power is a fitness program created by fitness expert Jeff Halevy that challenged students from 5 Newark high schools to stay active. Approximately 1,500 high school freshmen from Barringer Success Academy, Central, East Side, Weequahic, and West Side High Schools took part in the fitness program, which used MYTRAK devices to measure students’ level of movement – everything from brisk walking to gym exercises and other sport activities at home and in school. Each school competed against one another for most minutes moved during the 3-month challenge from October 2011 through January 2012.
District physical education teachers, who received prior training on the monitoring devices, monitored student progress and submitted weekly reports until the culmination of the program. Students were rewarded based on their level of activity with prizes which include Nets Basketball tickets and Zumba DVDs to designer apparel from ENYCE and high-end TRX Suspension Training equipment.
