The fifth year of Fun Fitness will begin on Feb.15 from 4-5pm Cherokee Life Center. Fun Fitness is a Kid Program especially designed with Fun Activities guaranteed to get “Kids Moving”!
The program is open to youth ages 5-15 years for boys and girls. Fun Fitness offers a variety of physical activities, nutritional snacks with information, and healthy opportunities for the children to participate in and/or be introduced to. The purpose of the program is to provide safe games and exercises for the youth that will promote regular physical activity, healthy and properly proportioned snacks that lead to an ongoing wholesome lifestyle.
Each meeting, the kids will be led through fun physical activities such as: proper use of the Kid Exercise machines, agility dots, stability ball, bowling, kickball, hula hoop, parachute, swimming, Frisbee throw/catch, jump rope, volleyball, badminton, and much more. Then, a healthy snack will be provided along with information that the instructor will explain and ask questions to introduce “label reading”.
The schedule for Fun Fitness is Tuesdays in the gym so be sure children wear shorts or sweat pants, a t-shirt, and tennis shoes. Thursdays are in the pool, so bring bathing suits and a towel.
