NEARLY 80,000 AREA CHILDREN ARE GETTING PHIT WITH THE PHILLIES!

The Phillies are proud to launch Phillies Phitness presented by NovaCare Rehabilitation!

Phillies Phitness is an interactive fitness program with the goal of educating children about steps they can take now to help ensure a healthy future. Children from kindergarten through high school will learn about the importance of being active through both exercise and activities that they take part in everyday as well as the importance of making smart food choices.

WORK OUT YOUR BODY

The Phillies don't just show up to play a game, they have to practice and part of this includes working out to keep their bodies in shape.
