Kids Fitness Challenge Week 5

I hope everyone had a safe and fun Fourth of July Weekend, and now that we are through the Holidays it’s time for the return of the Kids Fitness Challenge!

This Saturday, the Tindal O&P Associates Kids Fitness Challenge will be “Flying High!” Your Kids will love to soar on the quad bars, jump around on the trampoline, and then fly into the foam pit as high as they can! There will also be a game of freeze tag to warm everyone up for that day’s activities! Don’t miss out on the fun this Saturday, starting at Ten a.m. at Gymnastics Plus!

This week's Tindal O&P Associates Fun Foot Fact:
How many bones are there in the human foot? 28 bones, 33 joints, 107 ligaments, and 19 major msucles and tendons that hold the bones in place.

This week's Fitness Tips:

Remember that your heart is a muscle. If you want it to be strong, you need to excercise it. How do you do that? By being active in a way that gets you huffing and puffing, like jumping rope, dancing, or playing basketball. Try to be active every day!

Starting the day with breakfast, everyday is a simple way to make a difference to healthy growth and development, as well as your overall well being. If you start the day with a nutritious breakfast, it can help you function well in the morning and help you to learn at school.

Don't feel like you have to excercise an hour a day, five days a week, or you might as well do nothing...The truth is there are enormous benefits to doing just a little excercise daily. Studies show that a half hour walk three or more tiems a week significantly reduces your risk of heart attack and stroke, lowers blood pressure, relieves stress and boosts your energy and immune system.

Thanks as always to all of our sponsors: Tindal O&P Associates, Gymnastics Plus, The Party Pals, Eastside Westside Market, Time Out Corner, D&I Plumbing, Heating, and Air, The Manhattan Town Center, and the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center!

We look forward to seeing you this Saturday at 10am! Don’t forget to bring your Kids Fitness Club card to save time checking in!
