his or her health.

 Healthy
tips to build healthy kids
Strength training is
a great way to keep kids fit — and it's a healthy activity for
families to enjoy together. In addition to improving muscular
fitness, bone-mineral density, injury resistance and motor
fitness performance, involving children in strength training and
other fun fitness programs at an early age sets the stage for
instilling a positive attitude toward exercise and other healthy
habits that will last a lifetime. |
