Energetic Juniors has been in business for over 15 years. Obesity rates in children have fallen 40%.
Coincidence? We don't think so.
According to the New York Times, organizations such as Energetic Juniors may be leading the way to reduce childhood obesity.
And now with the First Lady's nationwide health campaign, "Let's Move," under way, why don't you show the White House how your family is getting physically active and making healthy changes? If you want to learn more about the Let's Move campaign and how you can become more involved, check out the official campaign website. The president and vice-president have already jumped on the bandwagon; watch them show you their moves here.
The Office of the First Lady recognized the work we do at Energetic Juniors in an official letter:
"Mrs. Obama believes that people like you are vital to our success on this issue, and she urges you to stay active and continue to lead efforts to improve the health of children in your community."
Many thanks to all of you for being part of the journey!

Family Fitness--"The Dice Game"
By Energetic Juniors Certified Trainers
 The Dice: The numbers on one die correspond to 6 different fitness exercises of your choosing (e.g. "1" might be hopping on one foot; "2" a crab walk; "3" jumping jacks; etc.). The other die has numbers that signify the number of repetitions of an exercise.
The Rules: Roll the "exercise" die to determine the exercise and then the "repetitions" die to determine the number of repetitions. For example, if the child rolls a 6 on the "repetitions" die, and a 4 on the "exercise" die, then he must do six repetitions of whatever you have previously determined to be the matching exercise. You and your child can think of whatever fun exercises you wish to use and any variations you improvise. As an example, if you roll doubles, you could do twice the number of repetitions indicated. - Most importantly, have FUN and keep your family moving. > For more great tips or to find out more about our services, contact bonita@energeticjuniors.com.
