The online fitness program for kids launched a mobile platform today that
provides health and fitness instruction for kids.
.
The Adventure to Fitness program includes 30-minute videos that encourage
kids to be active and teaches them about nutrition, exercise, and other
healthy habits. The site also delivers weekly tips from child development
experts, supplemental activities and games, and kid-friendly health
recipes.
.
The company claims to reach 10 million children. It also has tools for
educators and said over 100,000 teachers use its curriculum, making it one
of the most popular physical education supplements in schools for K-5
students.
.
Childhood obesity in the U.S. has reached epidemic proportions, more than
doubling in children and tripled in adolescents in the past 30 years. In
2010, more than one-third of U.S. children and adolescents were overweight
or obese.
.
Obese youth are at a higher risk for cardiovascular disease, cancer, and
diabetes as well as bone and joint problems, sleep apnea, and social and
psychological problems. These are alarming statistics, and yet obesity is
highly preventable through healthy eating and physical activity.
.
snip
.
An increasingly sedentary lifestyle is a major culprit here. Kids watch
more TV, play on the Internet instead of outside, get rides to school, and
spend less time running around in gym class and after-school sports.
