Greetings!
I received this email from another Energetic Juniors Mom. Once again the following words speak for themselves:
 

     "Energetic Juniors has been such a valuable program for our family. We had noticed that our daughter, Lily was consistently reluctant to become involved in physical activities and/or sports albeit she was quite outgoing and social. We were concerned that she wasn't getting enough activity for her age and we wanted to establish a healthy love of fitness.  Bonita took the time to understand our concerns and demonstrated compassion as well as the knowledge that is needed in working with children. She paired us up with Candice who has been wonderful. 

 

Upon first meeting Candice, Lily's eyes lit up and after her first training session she couldn't wait to have another one. She looked forward to each weekly session and felt excited about getting into her workout gear and spending quality time with Candice running around, exercising while making it playful and fun. Even better, Lily has developed a love of sports and being engaged in athletic activities now playing on all girls soccer team. She has more confidence about herself and is willing to try other activities be it just with her brother or her friends. 

 

Thank you so much Bonita and Candice for helping to incorporate the fun into exercise for our daughter and providing such a needed service."

Fall Fitness Tip
By Katrina Phillip, Energetic Juniors Trainer

Here is a good idea to enjoy some quality time with your kids and to get the blood pumping and the brain focused.  Go outside for a walk, and enjoy the colors of all the leaves falling from the trees. 

 
On your power walk collect 5 different shaped leaves
When you arrive home, try to make up
your own yoga pose that resembles each of the leaves that you had chosen.  Remember to hold your poses for at least 10 seconds.  Breath in through your nose, and out through your mouth.

The next time you go outside, think of even more fun ways to get your children moving.  Be creative, and encourage them to run, jump, skip, etc.  They'll thank you for it in the long run.

How Standing Desks Can Help Students Focus in the Classroom
By Dr. Siri Smith
I love this MindShift article and the idea of standing desks for kids. Haven't you noticed that kids, when focused and working, naturally stand at their desks (or kitchen table) a lot?  How great to be able to stand, sit, fidget and stay focused at the same time!

The article also correctly mentions stools and how sitting on that added height is better posturally. It allows the kids to swing their legs freely and opens up the angle of the hip flexors which is extremely beneficial. If we can help our kids stay more structurally sound and healthier while they are learning by having them use standing desks, I'll advocate for that!

Efficient Nutrition for Kids

Distraction and disruptions are around every bend and the days are jam packed.  Here's the winning equation to help your kids be on top of their game: 

Make each meal consist of slow release carbohydrate, high quality protein and high quality fat. 



This combination will help stabilize your child's blood sugar while fueling her brain with continuous glucose.
