Helping kids understand the importance of physical activity. That's the goal of the Great Arkansas Workout. 760 4th graders from 27 schools across the state took part in the workout Tuesday. Kids went through exercise stations, including boxing, yoga, football, aerobics and running. Students were also able to get information and ask questions about healthy habits. This is the 14th year for the Great Arkansas Workout which is put on by the Governor's Council on Fitness.
