Fit-N-Fun 4 Kids: Fusing Tech and Fitness
Great programme that brings together video gaming and fitness.
One evening last week, [Mike] Walker [City of Brooksville parks and recreation director] invited community members and the center’s after-school program enrollees to see firsthand the newest addition to the center’s activity list: the Fit-N-Fun 4 Kids program.
With a $2,500 grant from the Community Foundation of Hernando County, Walker and his team invested in two GameBikes and a few PlayStation 2 video games. They have also developed a program that gets kids ages 6 to 13 moving and shaking.
The Fit-N-Fun 4 Kids program begins with jumping jacks, stretching and jogging in place. For the participants last week, it seemed this moderate exercise worked like an elixir.
It will be interesting if participation rates are maintained… good luck to them!
