Physical Fitness 101 is a good fit for kids and parents, too

Parents, get kids ages 7 – 15 off the couch, getting some exercise and having fun, too, by enrolling them in Physical Fitness 101. The four-week course provides age-appropriate, structured physical activities for proper fitness development. Parents have the option of signing up for a boot camp-style exercise program at the same time, making physical fitness a family affair.

Physical Fitness 101 will be held from 1 – 2 p.m. on Wednesdays at the Renaud Spirit Center (RSC) 2650 Tri Sports Circle, O’Fallon MO 63368. The next session is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, October 31 with new sessions starting on December 5 and January 9. The cost per child is $20 for O’Fallon residents and $23 for non-residents. For parent-child registration, the cost is $30 for O’Fallon residents and $34 for non-residents. Registration ends October 25.

“It’s been proven that children need at least 60 minutes of physical activity daily to increase their overall health, strength and well-being,” said Ty Joyce, Fitness Recreation Specialist for the City of O’Fallon. “Physically-fit children and adults feel better and perform better at work and school. So, why not get started, and make getting healthy a family activity?”
