Kids Fitness Declines United Martial Arts Centers Lounge

Today's kids cant keep up with their parents. An analysis of studies on millions of chilren around the world finds they dont run as fast or as far as their parents did when they were young.

On average, it take children 90 seconds longer to run a mile than their counterparts did 30 years ago.
Heart-related fitness has declined 5% per decade since 1975 for children ages 9-17.

Kids are just less active than before.

Health experts recommend that chidren 6 and older get 60 minutes of moderately vigorous activity over a day.

Martial Arts Classes provide annarobic (strength) and arobic (Cardio) exercise for children with the added benefit of character devlopment, focus, self discipline, self control, goal setting and its fun.
