When your kids have a little too much energy, it can be hard for them to sit down and concentrate on schoolwork or be engaged during family time. What can you do to encourage them to use that energy in a positive and healthy way? Get moving! In addition to strengthening physical health, physical activity has been shown to have a positive effect on kids’ concentration and academic performance, so it’s a no brainer. But with so many options to keep your kids active, where do you start? Give fitBoost a shot!

Why is fitBoost helpful? According to Dr. Kristen Ford, an expert in physical education and health at Concordia College, taking time out of your day to get your kids’ bodies moving will increase their heart rates and blood flow. This movement encourages more oxygen to travel to the brain and causes your kids to become more alert and focused. Taking a 10-15 minute break every hour will result in increased energy levels throughout the day and boost their brainpower.
Doing fitBoost as a group is a wonderful way to help your kids develop a healthy habit for life. Make the time, use fitBoost, and enjoy the break you take. You’ll be amazed at how great your kids feel and how engaged they are afterward! To see more options and fun activities, check out our video fitWorkout: fitBoost Sport Moves.
