Programs for Kids
Our goal is to provide safe, effective physical activity programs to help get kids moving today!
As in school physical education programs continue to be affected by budget cutbacks, parents and teachers need to think creatively about how to get their kids moving.
We at Absolute Wellness Group feel passionately about childhood obesity and helping this growing problem. We have designed a series of fitness and nutrition programs to reach each age group. Our goal is to teach students the long term dangers of being overweight and the importance of a healthy and active lifestyle.
Our curriculum is based on the Operation Fit Kids program from the American Council on Exercise. Each lesson, for all grade levels, will combine fitness and nutrition education. Please see the program goals below for specifics on our curriculum.
Programs for Kids Grades K-2
Children in this age group will learn about healthy snacking and how different foods can affect your energy level and mood. Exercise for this age group will focus on healthy, active play. We will also work on rudimentary sports skills.
Programs for Kids Grades 3-5
In this program we aim to teach kids how to experience a lifetime of good health. Nutrition goals include learning about the USDA Food Pyramid, understanding how specific food choices can effect your body composition, and elementary education about nutrients. Students will learn how even moderate exercise can help to prevent obesity and disease. They will try samples of various exercise formats and how each can keep you fit and improve your self image.
Programs for Kids in 6-8 Grades
Students in this program will continue learning about healthy and nutritious habits. A more in-depth analysis of nutrients and food choices will be integral. Our focus for the fitness portion is to explore and practice a wide variety of exercise formats. Students will learn how exercise can effect health, enjoyment, challenge, self-expression and /or social interaction.
