My Story

I have a special place for Youth Fitness. That is when I started my fitness journey.  I was 12 years-old, and overweight. I had asked my mom to help me get healthier, and through exercise and eating smaller portions – I lost 25 pounds! Then, I never looked back. I continued to exercise my entire life, as I realized that it did so much more for my mind, body and soul. And I believe developing a foundation of fitness at an early age, helped to cement my life-long habit. 

 

THE POSITIVE IMPACT OF FITNESS ON OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL  AGED YOUTH

Fitness proves to kids that it’s okay to feel struggle as you’re working towards a goal. 

Fitness teaches kids that struggles can have a purpose, which teaches perseverance! 

Fitness shows kids that they can feel comfortable with taking positive risks!

Fitness can help to connect the benefits of commitment and dedication with positive results!

Fitness can help kids form the connection between feeling strong in the body and feeling strong in the mind!

Fitness shows our kids that there are no short-cuts, by teaching delayed gratification – as well as learning to be okay with where they are as they progress! 

Fitness helps youth to learn to be confident and comfortable with challenging situations!

My Approach

When it comes to Fitness & Kids, it’s got to be fun!! Elementary School Aged kids can build strength and coordination through obstacle courses, games and challenges!

And kids can do hard things too! But, it must be age appropriate. They are curious and excited to try new things! And when they feel like they have control over something that they set out to do – in a safe, yet challenging manner – it can greatly affect their confidence and outlook in other areas of their life! And I absolutely work that strong mindset ideal in to the kids as as they work to get their body’s stronger! These kids are more ready than you may realize to do great things!! Let’s GO!
