Week 6

Thank you to everyone that came out last week and we look forward to seeing you this Saturday for week 6 of the Tindal O&P Kids Fitness Challenge! This week we are taking the kids over, under, and through different obstacles as they learn to balance their way to fun. The kids will love the different activities they will get to do on the balance beams. As always each kid that shows up will get a free round of mini golf at Time Out Corner! The fun starts at 10am at Gymnastics Plus.

This week's tips:

Fitness Tips:
Have Computer and Television Blackout Times and Schedule Regular Exercise. Make sure kids get up and stretch and get exercise. Schedule time for them to go outside to play with friends or take a walk with a parent or family pet.

Encourage Sport Participation. Children should get involved in sports through school teams and activities. It builds self confidence and introduces them to new interests they can expand on later.
Eliminate Junk Food From Children's Diets. Kids are always hungry and they'll eat whatever is available. Substitute popcorn for chips, peanut butter for hot dogs, and skim milk and juice for soft drinks. Teach children good eating habits and don't make food a reward or emotional issue.

Tindal Tip:
The American Podiatric Medical Association says the average person takes 8,000 to 10,000 steps a day. Those cover several miles, and they all add up to about 115,000 miles in a lifetime -- more than four times the circumference of the globe.
