When I was in junior high and high school we had an hour of physical fitness every single day and it kept us from being fat, lazy little pudgers. Kids don’t have that in school anymore. And mine being homeschooled they rarely get an hour a day of exercise. I take mine to the YMCA to play racquetball and go swimming a few times a week. My kids aren’t over-weight but you really should get them use to doing regular fitness routines when they are young so they will continue it when they get older. The bad thing is, at our local Y where we have amembership, they won’t even let the kids into the work out room to do any exercises with the machines, like walking on the treadmill or doing the elyptical machine. They have to be 14 to be in the work out room. It’s just too hot in the summer to be outside doing exercise in 90+ degree weather. Some little work out video for kids would be a good idea I think. I would buy it if it weren’t too ridiculously hard.

What a horrible idea! Why do people do everything possible to prevent children from just playing outside? Turn off the TV and go out to the park or ride bikes as a family or have kids over to play at an indoor space or the yard or WHATEVER. They will get plenty of exercise that way. Also, unstructured play has both physical and imaginative components. In other words, kids need to be able to explore even as they play. This is much more developmentally appropriate than some adult-driven workout routine that turns physical activity into a joyless chore.

If they ENJOY it, why not? If you’re forcing it on the kids, then you’re just making them hate physical activity. Is a class worth a try, sure, but if they don’t like it what’s wrong with family walks and bike rides? @Peggy, I wonder if you can still find copies of Mousercise (the VHS [maybe DVD, but I doubt it], not the CD). I used to love it as a kid (back in my mom’s Jane Fonda days!)!

Oh no,
Kids can’t do Crossfit!
Dot drills are essentially hopscotch, skipping rope, playing on the monkey bars, pushups…give me a break, I did all of this as a child of the 70’s, early eighties.
I have no problem with the gymnastics, cardio and endurance aspect to Crossfit, I am positive they will leave out Olympic lifting if they are gearing the workout to kids.
If your kids are getting the right amount of exercise this is a non-issue but if not, why are we judging parents who want to get their kids fitness levels up?

@Markus I get your drift on where you were going there. I often think of my past and use it as a means to analyze where I am and where I want to get to. Where I struggel is balancing it all out. How do you guys balance things out?

I am invariably looking for somebody to alternative posts together with, I am a scholar student and have a blog site right here on our university internet site. The subject of this web log and writting style would likely go great in a few of my category’s, inform me if you are up for this.

My partner and I enjoyed reading this post, I was just itching to know do you trade featured posts? I’m continuously looking for somebody to make trades with and just thought I might ask.

Salut!, This page is high-quality and so is how the subject was written about. I like some of the comments also even though I would suggest we all stay on the suject to add value to the message. It will be also encouraging to the one who penned it down if we all could make mention of it (for some of us who use bookmarking services such as a reddit, twitter,..). Thanks again.

I’ve been exploring on the net trying to find some ideas on the way to get my personal blog site coded, your current design and style and theme are wonderful. Did you code it yourself or did you hire a programmer to get it done on your behalf?
