“I feel like I’m more active now,” reflects Mia McKinley, a 9th-grader at Culver City High School, which partners with UCLA Health for the Sound Body Sound Mind Program. “I ran track in 7th grade but took a break in 8th grade. I was out of shape, and I knew this would push me to the limit. To a good limit. I like working out with all my friends. We compete and sometimes I beat them. It’s really fun. I’m a lot better at running and am more capable of doing stuff now.”
