Hey! What’s going on? It’s Ian Hart here at EarthFITtraining.com and today what I am going to speak to you about fitness for kids and how important it is. And there are a few reasons why it is very important for your child specifically because not only does it stave off things like disease for example like diabetes, obesity or any disease or health issue that might come down the road – it’s going to prevent that and keep them in good physical condition – but besides that there’s a Unique Window of Opportunity from ages 6 to 12 that if you miss that period then you will prevent your child from maximizing their bone density, their tendons, ligaments, giving them good posture, strength, endurance, coordination, cardiovascular system, developing their nervous system, developing agility, which translates massively for the rest of their lives. So 6 to 12, if they did not train properly within that age they will not have developed this to the maximum ability or get the maximum of benefit. Also, it would drastically improve sport performance at this age as well as into the future because you have developed all ligaments, tendons, movement patterns, nervous system.
Also, Science Has Proven that when you train, when you workout, it also develops the brain, so when you’re doing movement patterns everything comes from the brain so you’re developing the brain core and what that does is helps you fire neurons faster so your brain actually works faster and this is proven specially with coordination stability training. You’re firing neurons faster therefore, you have the ability to solve problems faster and that translates into school.
Lastly, Creating the Habit Early On is extremely important so it’s important for your kids to see you working out but when they start to workout on their own and they create the habit early on, that will carry for the rest of their life. They might forget it for a little bit but they will remember that when they were a child, they were working out, they were committed to be healthy and that will play big later on in their life.
So this is Ian Hart, just giving you a little bit of information about how it is so important for ages 6 to 12 years old to be included in the fitness program and helping them for the rest of their life. If you have any questions or comments, go ahead and leave a comment below. Thanks!
