CrossFit Kids Summer Program 13-18 Session 1

Physically, CrossFit Kids works to battle childhood obesity and rising rates of Type 2 diabetes in kids. According to the World Health Organization, 39 million children around the world are overweight or obese. Lifestyle is the root cause of these problems. If a child is active and avoids eating and drinking processed carbohydrates, these maladies are virtually impossible to contract.

With the rise of technology, kids are spending more time being sedentary on their devices rather than moving their bodies throughout the day. With the increase in consumption of highly processed foods and added sugars, the number of kids suffering from health issues is rising. The CrossFit Kids program adds functional movements delivered in fun classes into a kid’s life to get them moving their bodies and enjoying exercise. By getting our kids to move their bodies, eat right, and enjoy both, they will be unlikely to lead an unhealthy lifestyle that ends up with these problems. If they are already afflicted with these problems, they have the opportunity to stop their progression and most likely reverse it.
