The very same technological innovations that chain us to our office desks
have lured our youngest generation indoors. Instead of physically
exploring the world around them, many children spend their free time
staring at glowing screens. This sedentary behavior is one of the reasons
why 12.7 million kids and adolescents in the United States are struggling
with obesity today. However, one fitness education program is proving that
just because you'd rather be tuned in to the television or computer
doesn't mean you can't be moving while you watch.
.
Adventure to Fitness, a video-based fitness program that launched in 2010,
uses the appeal of technology to its advantage in relating to American
youth. The program's 30-minute videos reach kids on their level. The
videos get kids active as they navigate through historical periods and
geographical scenes, all while learning about nutrition, daily exercise
and other healthy lifestyle habits.
.
According to Dr. Jenny Delfin, the Adventure to Fitness medical advisor
and a cardiologist at New York University Langone Medical Center, the
program's effectiveness stems from how well the videos engage with each
child. Kids retain the valuable lifestyle lessons without even realizing
it because of their physical, mental and emotional connection to what
they're watching. And 30 minutes of moderate to intense exercise each day
goes a long way.
.
The Adventure to Fitness program is currently being used in more than
22,000 schools and 100,000 classrooms worldwide, according to the company
website, providing a strong recess alternative for rainy days and the
winter months. Some of the schools utilize the videos as a component of
after-school programming, giving kids an additional opportunity to jump
around, work up a sweat and have a great time before they head home.
Teachers and parents alike have found the videos to be an effective tool
to help high-energy kids focus in the classroom.
.
But it's also a benefit for parents who elect to homeschool their
children. Without a recess or physical education component already built
into their lesson plans, Adventure to Fitness is an affordable solution
that the kids ultimately come to love.
