The weekends that my step-kids are at our home we try to get them out and about doing some kind of physical activity. Usually a walk around the park, a bike ride, a scoot along Manly beachfront. We have even promised Keely and Taj a dog when we move in to a house so that they have to walk it every day.
Keely does gymnastics, both the kids have swimming lessons once a week and Taj is just about to start Little Kickers in the new term. Keely and Taj's Mum takes them on bush walks so all in all my step-kids do an adequate amount of exercise.
I am so happy to see my home club Fitness First Balgowlah Platinum is introducing a Fitness Kids Program. For those that missed the Manly Daily yesterday there was an article that reported on the new program.
The program is designed for children aged from three to 12 years and are split in to three age ranges; 3-5, 6-8 and 9-12 year old. The programs combine expert fitness coaching, energetic music and physical activity set in a group session environment. The classes include a combination of cardio fun, strength based exercises, dance, balance and stability, speed and response, power, sport play, relaxation and stretching.
To see a bit of what the classes look like check out the promo video here.
There are currently two 45 minute classes a week for each age group being held at the Balgowlah club with prices starting from $12.50 per class.
An awesome investment in your child's health and fitness....and a way to have lots of fun!
