Why do you need youth and teen exercise and fitness programs?

child obesity and type 2 diabetes is on the rise. Today’s youth do not engage in physical activity on a regular basis. Physical education classes have experienced cut-backs, and in some schools have been completely eliminated. This inactivity can lead to a lower quality of life and self esteem in physical, emotional, social and scholastic areas. It is recommended that youths participate in moderate to vigorous physical activity at least three days a week to promote health and help prevent chronic disease. However, in order to truly be healthy everyone needs to workout for an hour a day six days a week.  Proper warm-up, stretching, strength training and proper cool down are all covered in each 60 minute segment.

How do we give our children an edge over their competition?

Competition is more intense then ever. Today more parents are sending theIR young stars to camps and hiring personal trainers, but is this safe? Half of all youth injuries occur because of overuse. We must be cautious and remember that they are still growing and there bodies need plenty of nutrition and rest. In order to keep them improving we need to make sure not to push too hard so that we do not to effect normal growth. Fortunately, Code Green Fitness is here to help.

The teenage stage of life is critical in preparing the body for the increase of demands at the higher levels of training. It also builds a foundation and establishes the principles of improving the quality of life. We focus appropriate training intensity, emphasize proper form and technique, as well as nutrition. Remember, our biggest concern is their health and safety.
