Kids fitness should be fun and engaging! As numerous studies are showing a decline in the health and fitness of Canadian youth we believe this is a critical time to add more emphasis and focus into this area. As young bodies develop, this is the best time to be working on their aerobic capacity, building muscular strength, and learning their fundamental movement skills.
As a society we have developed a more sedentary lifestyle for youth overall. For some of our youth, large organized sports, and the pressure these sports bring may be a harder option.
At Strive Learning we have first hand experience from working with youth over the last decade and seeing these trends in real life. We have the experience and knowledge to provide a fun, safe, and encouraging space for youth to develop these extremely important skills and to help them become lifelong health oriented individuals.
Like our individualized tutoring, our fitness sessions will include review to see where your child is at. Sessions will be typically 1:1, however, we also offer small group fitness and fun.
Not only does fitness have tangible health benefits, but exercise and movement in combination has proven to fire up the brain and make learning more powerful. Below are four areas of fitness that we focus on when working with younger students.
