among community days deal develop families family fitness giving goal great helps jumping kids pride proud raising sponsors teach three tremendous
The kids have surpassed our goal of $5,000. We are so very proud of them all. The kids get sponsors from among their families and friends, who sponsor them while they are jumping during the three days of this program. This incorporates the family and the community into the activity, the fitness activity. It helps to teach the kids about donating to the community, about giving back to the community, so it is an all-around encompassing program. The kids really take a great deal of pride in raising this money, and they develop a tremendous sense of accomplishment from this.
activity benefit computer exercise games home include kids outside seems station suggest talk three watching week
It seems that the kids are doing more at home now, outside of our school. We talk about that a lot, how three times a week is not enough activity to really benefit their health. We suggest that they exercise every day of the week, get up away from the computer and get moving. They can even exercise while they are watching television, or there are Play Station games that include exercise.
aerobic beating benefit certain chest children early exercise experience faster hand heart hearts level monitor pulse purchased rate teach
One year, we purchased pulse rate monitors, because we teach the children early on how to monitor their heart rate. When they are really young, we show them how to put their hand on their chest and feel their heart beat, and experience their hearts beating faster or slower. As they get older, they can use the wristband heart monitor to monitor their pulse while they are exercising. The idea is that you want to get the heart rate up to a certain level when you exercise to really get an aerobic benefit from it.

This is especially important nowadays with all the emphasis on obesity in children. We know that children need to learn early on that they need know how to control their bodies and their health, and continue it throughout their lives. We model it for them, and we teach them how to go about that. We talk about it with them at length, about good nutrition, about sleeping, and about getting exercise routinely.

We will get an idea at the end of the year how these activities have worked for us.
