Hey there!

I have had the opportunity to talk to many parents of children ages 6-11 and a few common struggles have been “My Child doesn’t pay attention during class”, “I am afraid my child will not learn anything during online school”, and “My Child is irritated with the circumstances and it shows in their mood.”

You could probably guess it already, but some of the best ways to resolve these issues, that I know all of you are having, is to have your child become involved in some type of aerobic physical activity between each of their classes and between the schoolwork they are doing (or just in general consistently).

PE 1 or 2 times a week for 30-45 minutes is not enough!

Dr. Erin Hall from the Physical Education and Health Department at California State University conveyed that “physical activity increases blood flow and oxygen delivery [to the Brain], thus increasing mental functioning.” There is a...

These Tech Giants have limited or don't even allow access to screens for their children. For example, Bill Gates didn't allow his...

A child’s physical, cognitive, and social maturity are key factors in determining the age at which a child is ready to participate in a strength training program.

There is no minimum age requirement for participation, although children must be able to follow directions and demonstrate Proficient body Weight balance and proprioception, which generally occurs by the age of 7.

Did you know as soon as a child is born it begins Strength Training? 

Babies learn to Roll, Crawl, Stand up, and walk and this is a demonstration of their version of strength training. 

Now the Misunderstanding with Strength Training in our youth is that strength training involves putting your athlete under superior loads that will damage the growth plates and Stunt the growth of your child. But, the exact opposite happens when under...

What are some things in your household, right now, that you see your kids munching on that you know they can do without? What are some food choices that can also be replaced with healthier options? What drinks might your children be consuming too much of?
