Our nutrition program is a moderation-based approach that focuses on whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean protein. We teach nutrition basics as well as, how to read food labels, determine correct portion sizes, make good choices when eating out, and to prepare healthy meals and snacks on their own. Children leave the program with a collection of healthy recipes that they can share with the family or make individually. Within the nutrition portion of the program, we also emphasize self-esteem, stress management, and the important connection that play into why we eat. Guest speakers, including child psychologists, meet with the kids and speak to them about how the mind and body work together. They are able to give them healthy ways to manage stress and how to feel good about their bodies.
The fitness portion of the program is a great introduction to a variety of team and individual activities. This allows your child to experience all sorts of ways to be active without the commitment and expense of trying them out individually. The hope is that your child will be able to find at least one activity that they really enjoy and can stick with in the future. Examples of activities we offer include: traditional team sports such as soccer and basketball, as well as non-traditional sports like kickball and team relays. Individual activities include: stability ball work, kid's yoga, non-contact boxing, and circuit training. All activities provide a range of cardiovascular, strength, and flexibility work and are conducted under close supervision.
Whether your child needs to lose weight or just wants a fun after-school or camp program to try, Fit 'n Fun has something for everyone.
