The 2011 PE4Life Resource Conference was held in Overland Park, Kansas on October10-11. School and Community representatives from 22 states attended this two-day event that featured Robyn Bretzing from Timpanogos High School from the alpine School District in Utah as the Keynote Speaker. Robyn challenged the audience to take their daily practice to the next level – from good to great – and her infectious enthusiasm had event attendees on their feet dancing and moving throughout the day. PE4Life hosted over 230 PE professionals and school representatives, providing 35 breakout and activity sessions that included presentations from Jean Blaydes of Action Based Learning, Aaron Hart of SPARK, and Dr. Curt Hinson, renowned physical education consultant, as well as an Equipment Symposium that featured 25 equipment and programming vendors.

WOW, what a great honor! Motion Fitness is excited that we received the 2nd Place Award for Most Valuable Product/Company. Here we debuted the MOVband, this is a new method for schools to do fundraising for their PE Program and encourages students to be active while doing it! The iDANCE Move was also debuted and received great feedback as a way to incorporate an inexpensive group-based DDR program into schools. The always eye-catching Makoto II was also a big hit!
