How much exercise are your kids getting?

Do you remember the days where you came home from school and spent the rest of the day biking, rollerblading and chasing after your friends? These days kids sit for 7-8 hours in school only to go home and sit in front of the television playing video games.  Physical Education in schools is basically non-existent at this point.  Sports are getting so competitive that you basically have to be the best just to get any playing time. 

 These are just a few reasons why are youngest generation is now called Generation  O[besity]. Since 1971 the amount of overweight kids under the age of eleven have quadrupled. The sad thing is that there’s a 70-80% chance that an obese child will turn into an obese adult.

So what’s the solution? Teach your kids good habits now, if a person goes their entire life without working out what’s the chance of them getting in shape when their life truly depends on it?

Because of our rising obesity epidemic, I am excited to announce that this the Hit Center will be having a “General Fitness Kid’s Camp” which starts June 1st.  This camp will be 3 days/week for two hours at a time (12-2 PM).  The camp will be geared to having fun while getting a great workout.  My goal  is to get kids to love working out because that’s really their only chance of sticking with it later in life.

 The camp will be open to any child interested, we can accomodate all ages and fitness levels. If you or your child is interested, contact me at (480) 981-0600. I’m really looking forward to helping kids realize just how cool living a healthy lifestyle is :)
