Fitness Bears

A fitness class designed just for kids

The Fitness Bears Program is designed to help in the nationwide effort to promote healthy and physically active lifestyles for children. This new program will focus on fun physical activities and proper nutrition. By teaching proper nutrition to our students, we help reinforce lifelong eating habits that contribute to their overall well-being. With our fun filled sport themed lessons, students learn Exercise equals Fun! This program helps show kids how to enjoy physical activity, then find an activity they enjoy doing.

DID YOU KNOW?

According to William Klisch, M.D.

• "Because of the current overweight epidemic in children and teens, for the first time in over a century, today's generation of kids will not live as long as their parents."
• As many as 25 percent of children and adolescents are overweight or obese.
• The percentage of youths who are overweight has more than doubled in the past 30 years.

Further, physical activity:

• Can cause health benefits like improved aerobic endurance, muscle growth, muscular strength, motor coordination, and growth stimulation of the heart, lungs, and other vital organs for children and adolescents.
• Makes major contributions to the development of the whole child including physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively.

Teaching Philosophy

Exercise = FUN!

We believe that in order to slow down the fast growing problem of childhood obesity children must earn at an early age to be active and take care of their bodies. Our goal is to make every child discover how he or she can enjoy being active by exploring a variety of activities in a non-competitive environment.
