Even though children and youth enjoy playing, many are not getting the necessary amount of exercise recommended daily. Fitness training for your kid(s) may be something you’ve never considered. However, it is an important activity to include in your child/teenager’s life.
According to the National Academy of Sports Medicine in the Optimum Performance Training for Youth course (which I’ve completed), obesity and diabetes II are the top risk factors for youth. So, if the only reason you start having your child do fitness training is to avoid one of the above diseases or risk factors, that’s a more-than-good-enough reason.
