Let’s Do Something About It!

We all know that there is a problem with childhood obesity and lack of physical activity outside of school for our kids. I want to throw out an idea and I really hope it will take off. I am willing to get personal trainers at my office 5 days a week – I hope to get up to 7 days a week eventually. Everyday at 4:30, I will have the children register and weigh in (if they don’t want to weigh in, t……hat’s fine – but I will privately have each check in and get their pulse, blood pressure and temperature). Then we will have an activity daily from 5 until 6 pm. I encourage the parents to work out with their children, not just drop them off. This will not be a babysitting program, if your child is not well behaved without you, they may not stay without you. I will be participating daily as well. Who’s interested? Message me on Facebook, Twitter, Linked In or call the office at 415-1131 and tell them how many people are interested. When I have all the details worked out, I will let you know.

This will be free and open to all!
