As I sat in the airport I was saddened by what I saw. First it is the food choices and then its the adults and especially kids that are partaking in that food while using the moving walkways and carts to get them from one gate to the next. Take a look around in any public place. Maybe you see it in your neighborhood. Maybe the only place you have to look is right a home. It seems to be an acceptance or complacency to things as normal. As if there isn’t another way. An attention to only short term rewards versus long term pay offs . Our kids are in the wrong shape…the round kind of shape. They only know what we know and do what we do. It has become an epedemic in which the First Lady Michelle Obama has set out to fight. It is something we all should fight. Our kids should thrive on being active and healthy, enjoy it and live it everyday. If you are not going to change for yourself at least change for them. Educate yourself, educate them. Know that there is another way.
CrossFit Scottsdale kids give kids and teens ages 3-17 the opportunity to enjoy exercise, learning how to fuel their bodies, and become strong, healthy, confident adults. We breed a culture of higher expectations, self empowerment and a drive to continually better yourself. It is a community of learning and changing lifestyles to affect positive change. We don’t settle and we are not complacent. This is the same for our adult students as it is our kids.
CrossFit Scottsdale changes LIVES…CrossFit Kids changes the FUTURE!
