There is a large percentage of
kids' in America who are
obese...yadda yadda...we keep
hearing this. I was happy
to read an article today from
the Canadian Press which
discusses the fact that
there seems to be a growing
number of children in the U.S.
between ages six to eleven who
have gym memberships or who
are participating in local
fitness classes and
activities. I was thrilled
to learn that fitness centers
are trying to appeal to the
kids with what's currently
popular:
"At Action Kids Fitness
Center, with two locations in
California, children can take
a 40-to 45-minute circuit
training workout with
resistance machines and cardio
stations, including stationary
bikes that connect to
PlayStation 2. The centre also
has hip-hop dance, yoga,
karate and monthly nutrition
classes."
