Dear Listener,

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 US to countries like India and Bangladesh, childhood obesity is on the rise.

Kids these days are weaned on a diet of dumb phones and "molly coddling" as opposed to regular physical activity and "the school of hard knocks". It shows especially in the flabby bellies showing up as young as five years of age.

I mean really, a five-year-old kid is obese? Such a thing did not exist when we were young. Even if we didn't "actively exercise", 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. 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 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, 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. 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, 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 none of this is good, my friend. In fact it's bad! Snd if you have kids, 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 Kiddie Fitness aims at rectifying just that.

If your kids are suffering from being overweight, tired, lethargic, or easily prone to weight gain around the midsection, this course will eliminate those issues.
