Kids Fitness Challenge Week 7

As always, thank you to everyone that made it out last week. It was fun, as usual. This week's Tindal O&P Associates Kids Fitness Challenge is wet and wild. It's time for the water olympics! Bring the kids out in their swim suits and get ready for some fun! It starts at 10am at Gymnastics Plus, we'll see you there. Don't forget the free round of mini golf you will receive for showing up thanks to Time Out Corner!

THIS WEEK'S TIPS:

Fitness Tips:
How Many Steps Do You Take In A Day? Fitness experts say grown ups should take at least ten thousand steps every day. That equals about five miles of walking! It's good for kids to take even more than ten thousand steps every day. That's why all summer long at the Kids Fitness Challenge we've been handing out pedometers! If you have not received your pedometer, get one for free this Saturday and start counting you steps!

One Quarter Of U.S. Children Spend Four Hours Or More Watching Television Daily. That is way too much time in front of the T.V. Infants, toddlers, and preschoolers should engage in at least sixty minutes of physical activity daily and should not be sedentary for more than sixty minutes at a time except when sleeping.

Bike Riding Is A Lot Of Fun, But Accidents Happen. Every year, about 176,000 kids go to the emergency room because of bike accident injuries. That's why it's so important to wear your bike helmet. Wearing one doesn't mean you can be reckless, but a helmet will provide some protection for your head in case you fall down.

Tindal Tip:
Walking is the best exercise for your feet. It also contributes to your general health by improving circulation, contributing to weight control, and promoting all-around well being.
