Fathletes are empowered athletes building community and having fun in the Portland metro area. We get together for regular activities every week and host new, fun adventures a few times each month. The group was started in early 2013 and has grown steadily as more athletes join us for events and adventure outings.
We believe in Health At Every Size (HAES). HAES based on the simple premise that the best way to improve health is to honor your body. It supports people in adopting health habits for the sake of health and well-being (rather than weight control).
Health At Every Size encourages:
-
Accepting and respecting the natural diversity of body sizes and shapes.
-
Eating in a flexible manner that values pleasure and honors internal cues of hunger, satiety, and appetite.
-
Finding the joy in moving one’s body and becoming more physically vital.
