How many times have you said," I wish my child could or would continue being active as he was in camp."  But schoolwork, computers, and winter weather take over, and suddenly more time is spent being sedentary than being active.

Physical activity should be year-round; active, fit bodies mean active, more alert young minds and will pay off year after year with a lifelong commitment to active living.

Fortunately, there are always fun ways to encourage your child to continue being active.

For a child who doesn't like team sports, there are endless possibilities for activities that they can participate in, such as:

• Personal Training
• Swimming
• Running
• Tennis
• Martial Arts
• Dance
• Yoga

For the younger children, get them hooked now on physical activity that is stimulating, physical and FUN.

Energetic Juniors's certified trainers will be sharing with you some more active and creative fitness games. Use these upcoming games as a springboard for endless possibilities, or just let your child's imagination and yours create new ones. Just keep it safe, physical and FUN.
