The Importance of Functional Strength Training For Youth

The Games They Already Play: Fun Youth Fitness and Exercise Programs Using Functional Fitness

Despite our best efforts, childhood obesity rates continue to rise. Many factors contribute to this, but surely one of the most important factors is a lack of exercise. According to the Center for Disease Control, children and adolescents should do roughly an hour of aerobic exercise a day to stay healthy.  Yet in recent years, less than a quarter of our school children actually do that. And as our children live increasingly sanitary, boxed-in, always-wired lives, it's little wonder that they don't find time to exercise. But, that can be changed.

Create A Successful Youth Fitness and Conditioning Program

With the rise in juvenile obesity, physical fitness in schools and other places where children frequent is even more important. To help keep children at a healthy weight to reduce the risks of weight-related diseases, such as diabetes and heart problems, you can implement a youth fitness and exercise program using special fitness equipment that makes exercise fun, as well as effective.
