Week 3

Thank you to everyone that made it out last Saturday to the second week of the Kids Fitness Challenge! Just a special reminder to all the parents, We are doing this for FREE, all Summer Long!

Here are the activities for week number Three coming up this Saturday:

This week's theme: "Fun-Nastics!!!!"

Gymnastics Plus invites you to "Explore the Possibilities" that gymnastics has to offer, and "Experience the fun" that Gymnastics can provide you!

Activities will include Indoor & Outdoor activities!

Indoors there will be an obstacle course that includes climbing, jumping, rolling, and swinging!

Outdoors there will be a course that includes more jumping, rolling, running, and hopping!

And the day will end with Game Time and a beverage to cool down from the Z!


This week's tips:
1. Eat more grains, fruit, and vegetables! These foods give you carbohydrates for energy, plus vitamins, minerals and fiber. Besides, they taste good! Try breads such as whole-wheat, bagels and pita. Spaghetti and oatmeal are also in the grain group. Bananas, Strawberries and melons are some great tasting fruits. Try vegetables raw, on a sandwich or in a salad.

2. Join in physical activities at school. Whether you take a physical education class or do other physical activities at school, such as intramural sports, structured activities are a sure way to feel good, look good and stay physically fit.

3.Foods aren't good or bad. A healthy eating style is like a puzzle with many parts. Each part -- or food -- is different. Some foods may have more fat, sugar or salt while others may have more vitamins or fiber. There is a place for all these foods. What makes a diet good or bad is how foods fit together. Balancing your choices is important. Fit in a higher-fat food, like pepperoni pizza, at dinner by choosing lower-fat foods at other meals. And don't forget about moderation. If two pieces of pizza fill you up, don't eat a third.

Tindal Tip: Make sure your shoes have arch supports. Arch Supports distribute weight over a wider area.
