Missed opportunities for children’s activity

Missed opportunities for children’s activity
Regular physical activity is essential for optimal growth, development and health in children.
The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, first published in 2008, recommend that all children and adolescents should do at least one hour of physical activity each day. Most of this time should be spent in moderate- or vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity.
Additionally, children should include muscle and bone-strengthening activity at least three days a week as part of the 60 or more minutes per day.
These activities should be appropriate for their age, be enjoyable and offer variety.  read more

TOPFIT Daily Activities --- Lunges and Tabatas

What a way to start the day!  6am......1/4 mile of walking lunges in addition to 2 brisk 1/2 mile walks with a client.
In the afternoon I did a workout of Tabata pullups, pushups SB crunches and squats with a friend.

About Your Trainer

Medford, OR, United States
Hi! I'm Patrick Frey, your in-home, online and on-the-trail Personal Trainer, Fitness Educator, and Strength & Conditioning Specialist. With over 35 years of fitness experience, and certifications from the National Strength and Conditioning Association, the International Sports Sciences Association, and the American Council on Exercise, I have the knowledge and experience you need to reach your health and fitness goals. My interests over the years have included running, bicycling, cross-country skiing, hiking, backpacking, bodybuilding, powerlifting, olympic lifting, volleyball, and general health, fitness and nutrition. I've trained hundreds of people of all ages and abilities from elite athletes to sedentary couch potatoes, in everything from well equipped gyms to un-equipped homes, online, in the park and on the trails. To me, there's nothing more exciting than helping people improve their health, look better, feel better, or improve their sports performance.
