A recent ceremony held in Harrisburg brought the Governor together with a body builder - all in the name of fitness for kids.

The man who's famous for his fitness program "Body by Jake", Jake Steinfeld, came to Pennsylvania recently to award state-of-the-art fitness centers to three lucky schools in our state.  It's part of the National Foundation for Governor's Fitness councils.  With over 100 nominations coming in across the country, Pennsylvania was awarded three brand new "Live Positively Fitness Centers" valued at over $100,000 and at no cost to taxpayers.

"Exercise is part of eating healthy, sleeping and studying  and being able to give the schools the tools," says the Governor and Steinfeld.

These centers include interactive games including  dance revolution and all kinds of fun activities.
