Here are the stats: Only 22% of Americans get the recommended 150 minutes a week of exercise. With those numbers, it’s not surprising that 1 in 3 children are considered overweight or obese. How can we change those disheartening numbers? Through exercise.
Pretty Fit Kids was founded by Emma Moyer to reverse those statistics. They offer classes for elementary-aged children, as well as toddlers, that not only get them moving, but teaches them valuable life lessons. Emma is a certified group fitness instructor, personal trainer and reading specialist. She fuses these certifications to give you a unique experience for your child.
Pretty Fit Kids is a 45 minute after-school class at Cool Spring Baptist in Mechanicsville that incorporates scripture verses into a fun, organized workout. Your child will get fit both physically and spiritually. Children learn the fundamentals of exercise and what the Bible says about physical activity.
The first session centers around the theme of strength. It runs from October 14th to November 6th on Mondays and Wednesday from 4-4:45PM. Half sessions are also available should you be unable to attend both days, as well as multiple child discounts. Each class is centered around a specific scripture verse related to the theme. Activities engage, build endurance and illustrate the meaning behind each verse. So, let your child “soar on wings like eagles, run and not grow weary, walk and not be faint” (Isaiah 40:31).
