Smart Fit Kids

SMART FIT KIDS!

	EVERY DAY, kids make decisions that either to improve or impair their health and fitness. This section is dedicated to those who are making good decisions toward accomplishing good health and fitness . . .
	We learn from many different scenarios. The key to learning is finding ways that work for you. One way children learn is from watching others and then deciding if what they saw is something that is a good idea. If we conclude what we saw is a good idea, then we find a way to imitate the action. We do it when we are talking, dancing, playing a sport or just exercising.

			Kids will benefit for years as they learn about good posture at one of the Fitness Zone's balance classes. This lesson helps children maintain broad shoulders, upright torso and strong back muscles as they learn how to sit upright while at their desks in school, at work and at home. Kids learn how to do mild exercises while sitting to improve circulation, maintain alertness and improve breathing.

	The Fitness Zone will be promoting aerobic activities to strengthen the heart and burn calories. One way we remind children about the components of a successful aerobic activity is to remember the word FIT.
	F = Frequency - How many times you exercise each week. I = Intensity - How hard you work your heart while you are exercising. T = Time - The number of minutes you spend exercising each day.
