Fitness for Kids

Obesity among children has reached epidemic levels: one in every five children and adolescents in the U.S. is overweight. Sedentary habits, such as video games and prolonged computer use, along with increases in fast-food diets, have placed today’s kids at risk. Beyond the long-term physical and medical consequences of obesity, the psychological impact — peer pressure, discrimination and the like — can leave life-long emotional scars.

Regular physical activity is integral to addressing these risks, as well as encouraging healthy living as early as possible. A small investment in time and energy can produce life-long results.

The Fitness King has made a personal commitment to promote physical fitness as a daily routine for children of all ages. He has made countless volunteer appearances before school groups and events to promote daily exercise, nutrition and healthy lifestyles.
