Functional Core Fitness
                                       Youth Training

The ubiquity of the sedentary lifestyle and its correlated health
problems, as well as the rise in childhood obesity demonstrate the
necessity of promoting physical fitness early in life. The American Heart
Association recommends that all children age 2 and older participate in
at least 30 minutes of enjoyable, moderate-intensity physical activities
every day that are developmentally appropriate and varied.
