Physical Activity Ignites Whole-Child Learning
The Walkabouts Platform, a whole-child active learning solution, brings movement into everyday classroom instruction. With lessons correlated to state and national standards, educators can seamlessly integrate physical activity and mental fitness into math, ELA, reading, science, social studies, financial literacy, and test preparation—helping students learn better and feel better.

Evidence-Based Research
Across the country, students are moving less and less. But recent research (from experts including our co-founder and CEO, Dr. Julian A. Reed) offers some good news: Active children aren’t just healthier, they learn better. Those benefits only increase with kinesthetic learning and integrated brain exercises.
