Dear Reader, Kids these days get NOWHERE near the levels of physical activity they need - and this isn't me exaggerating in the slightest. From China to the U.S. to countries like India and (even!) Bangladesh - - childhood obesity is on the rise - - and HOW - - and FAST! Kids these days are weaned on a diet of dumbphones and "molly coddling" as opposed to regular physical activity and "the school of hard knocks", and it shows - especially in the flabby bellies showing up as young as 5 years of age - and - heaven forbid of all things - issues such as childhood diabetes, and other related issues! I mean really - - a kid of 5 - - and OBESE - -or even fat?? Such a thing did NOT exist when we were young - - even if we didn't "actively exercise" - - because we were always MOVING around! Some of us had the right example to follow, and we exercised along with them. Some (such as yours truly) had the WORST example he could follow in terms of fitness - but somehow, somewhere, the fitness BUG kept coming back - - and therefore this "39 year old kid" is where he is today in terms of fitness, hehe. However I could have got there a lot earlier - - and I could have done without the following - A weak grip during my adolescent years when most teenage boys are doing their best to OUTDO each other - and have NO idea of how to strengthen said grip. Shoulders that were so weak that some girls could throw the shot put farther than I did - this DESPITE me having what was outwardly a "slim figure". Those love handles - yes - at the age of 12 even - that the "tough guys" loved to pinch (until I fought back, which was another story - but still!). Zero confidence to approach girls (well, at least from a "physical" standpoint if not mental, if you know what I mean) And so forth. If you as an adult identify with any of this as a KID - - well - - rest assured, you're not alone. And being I have a six year old daughter, there is NO way I'd want HER going through her childhood with any of the above (ok, replace what I said above with the "girly" stuff but still!). And .... .... believe me, while I know what it feels like to be the weak kid and bullied in class - all throughout my childhood pretty much - if you compare me then with the average kid today - I was in super shape back then. Not kidding you, my friend. The average kid these days is fat, lazy and slothful - and eats a ton of junk. The average kid these days couldn't run a block - - or even around the park - - without collapsing in exhaustion. And the average kid these days couldn't get into a bridge - - or the "table" position - - or a handstand - - to save his or her own life - - things we could probably all do when we were kids! And none of this is good, my friend. In fact it's BAD - and if you have KIDS - well - I'll bet YOU don't want them going through life the same way - feeling weak, dejected and picked upon - and health that rapidly starts to deteriorate past the teenage years. And the main, root cause behind all this is - - lack of physical MOVEMENT, and therefore FITNESS (and strength etc). And Kiddie Fitness aims at rectifying just that. •If your kids are suffering from being overweight - tired - or lethargic - or easily prone to weight gain around the midsection - - well, this course will ELIMINATE those issues. oYou'll find that their appetite improves tremendously - - and that they will always be RAVENOUS (as opposed to you having to "fight" to get them to eat, especially regular meals) - - which is as it should be at a tender age! •Kiss goodbye to flatulence and digestive issues forever once you get on this course (hint - this holds true for you ADULTS out there as well!). The above is just a SAMPLING of the benefits your kids can - and will get from this course. Believe me NOW, and trust me later - this course has the potential to literally TRANSFORM their lives overnight, my friend. Dive in - NOW!!
