Posted By: How May I Help You NC on August 01, 2012 08/01/2012 09:58 AM EDT Posted by: Kasie Coccaro While First Lady Michelle Obama was in London leading the U.S. Delegation to the 2012 Olympic Games, communities back at home showed their support for Team USA by dancing, jumping and running their way to a healthier lifestyle. Thousands of people from nearly all 50 states got together to celebrate Let’s Move! Olympic Fun Day on Saturday, July 28th by getting active and having fun. From tug-of-war in Eagle, Wisconsin to badminton in Porterville, CA and from soccer in New York City to relay races in Cornish, ME, we were thrilled by the response! We hope all the fun and activity inspires your family and community to get moving too! And even though our Olympic Fun Day has passed, you can join or host a Let's Move! Meetup in your community year-round. Have a look at some of the coverage, stories, photos and tweets from events that took place around the country: California: Richard from Porterville, CA: “We started with a two lap run around the perimeter of the field, using an orange funnel as our torch. We then did calesthenics, then our obstacle course, then to our 5 events. We had hurdles, medicine ball hurl, 25 yard dash, badminton balance run and the long jump. The kids were great and didn't want it to end. It was just such great fun and the families can't wait for us to put on another event, so we're going to plan for the winter olympics and maybe one more before then."
