The New Year is here and while most of us want to make big efforts towards jump starting our fitness routine, we also need to be realistic with how we’re approaching our fitness goals. My main advice to everyone starting out this year is to avoid the extreme measures and crash diets!

Physical activity is so good for children’s bodies and is desperately needed, especially in the times we are in right now. At least 60 minutes of activity a day helps older children and adolescents grow strong bones and muscles, build endurance and maintain a healthy weight.
