The SKIP! program is an innovative creative movement program designed to promote physical activity and good health, and to foster motor development, which can be delayed in children from low resourced families and children who spend a lot of time in sedentary activities (such as watching TV and screen time), and affecting readiness to learn. The target population are children attending the TCCS. Our primary goal is to improve physical activity and health in children and to foster institutionalization of physical activity into the school setting. Physical inactivity and "screen time" are consistently associated with childhood obesity and contribute to developmental delays. Influences in early childhood and beyond are central to the establishment of healthy behaviors that can persist throughout adulthood. Concurrently with program development and implementation, we are collecting process and behavioral outcomes to evaluate the program's effectiveness using the RE AIM framework.

SKIP! is grounded by evidenced based research and theories from pediatric movement, behavioral and developmental science, physical education, and dance pedagogy. SKIP! will engage children in enjoyable, developmentally and culturally appropriate creative physical activity sessions. Pedagogically, the project draws upon the best of social constructivist theory, imaginative play, community sharing, and a motor development approach to teaching and learning. SKIP! Is a comprehensive curriculum designed to be implemented in schools.


The SKIP! program employs Zankel Fellows and other students who work with faculty to develop and implement a program of movement and physical activities that is integrated into the structure of the TC Community School. 

The EXerT Clinic is a project Directed by Dr. Carol Ewing Garber designed rovide high quality mentored professional practice and research opportunities for students in the Movement Science  through provision of an integrated health/fitness evaluations and exercise prescriptions to individuals with a goal to improve sports performance, fitness, and health.

The EXerT Clinic offers individualized exercise testing and physical activity assessments and counseling services provided by highly trained, certified staff and Movement Science graduate students. The goal of the EXerT Clinic is to assist you in designing an effective exercise training regimen that will meet your own personal goals. Our services are appropriate for adults of all ages, including athletes and non-athletes alike,  who would like to:

  • Optimize sports performance
  • Enhance overall health
  • Improve physical function
  • Enhance mood and feelings of energy
  • Help to manage a chronic disease or condition

VIDEO: Encourage patients to 'move more, sit less'

CHICAGO — In this video, Carol Ewing Garber, PhD, FAHA, FACSM, FNAK, discusses how to get patients to “move more and sit less.”

This topic was the focus of her presentation intended for the ACP Internal Medicine Meeting, which she was unable to attend in person.

“Believe it or not, you can counsel patients on how to move more in 5 minutes or less,” said Garber, who is a professor of movement sciences and director of the graduate program in applied physiology at Teachers College, Columbia University.

How To Stay Safe When You Work Out In The Heat

Treadmill fatigue is real. That's why at the first hints of spring many indoor exercisers are outside faster than you can say manual or hills program. But when summer hits, some regions get hot — really hot.

And this year, as climate change continues to push Earth's weather to extremes, entire swaths of the U.S. have experienced record-breaking levels of heat.

How to Get More Flexible Stretching is one of the best ways to prevent pain

Do you often feel stiff and tight? Notice frequent aches and pains? There’s probably a good reason. “As we start to get older, we lose fluid and flexibility in our joints and in our muscles,” says Lynn Millar, PhD, a fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). These effects of aging—along with conditions like arthritis, years of hunching over a computer, or the repetitive movements of gardening—can make you less flexible and reduce your range of motion.

The Benefits of Running vs. Walking. Which is better: It all depends on your goals. Here's how to do either one well, even in winter.

Running and walking are both excellent forms of exercise. Those who regularly do either typically have healthier hearts, stronger bones, and lower body weights than their sedentary counterparts.

The current Physical Activity Guidelines, issued by the Department of Health and Human Services, call for a minimum of 150 to 300 minutes per week of moderate activity or 75 to 150 minutes of vigorous activity.

So does it matter whether you get those minutes walking or running? Arguments can made for both—and which is right for you depends on your goals and your current fitness level.

Strength Training Tips to Live Longer and Better Building muscle helps you stay active, and avoid falls, as you age

Every year, most older adults lose one percent of their muscle mass. But study after study suggests it’s never too late to slow muscle loss and even rebuild some of it through strength training.

That can help you stay physically active. Studies also suggest strength training can help maintain memory and prevent falls—and may contribute to a longer life. A study by UCLA in the American Journal of Medicine found that older adults with the most muscle mass were 20 percent less likely to have died during a 10- to 16-year follow-up than other study subjects.

Here are some smart, simple ways to stay strong.

Exercise May Help Offset Even a Family History of Heart Disease

It’s no secret that physical activity is good for your heart, but a new study suggests that being active and fit can protect your heart even if you have a strong family history of heart disease.

“The main message of this study is that genetic risk isn’t deterministic,” says Erik Ingelsson, M.D., Ph.D., professor of medicine at the Stanford University School of Medicine and lead author of the study published in the American Heart Association journal, Circulation. “Even if your parents died early of heart disease, you can reduce your risk to the level of someone with no family history of the disease by increasing your fitness.” 

Staying flexible and healthy as you age

Do you often feel stiff and tight? Notice frequent aches and pains? There’s probably a good reason. “As we start to get older, we lose fluid and flexibility in our joints and in our muscles,” says Lynn Millar, a fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). These effects of aging — along with conditions such as arthritis, years of hunching over a computer or the repetitive movements of gardening — can make you less flexible and reduce your range of motion.

This exercise is the superfood of fitness, experts say
