| More Information About CircusFit |
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the percentage of children and adolescents who are defined as overweight has more than doubled in the past two decades. As this trend continues, overweight children are more likely to develop weight-related illnesses in adulthood, including diabetes and heart disease. The Ringling Bros. CircusFit program is a step closer to reversing the trend and getting children interested in exercise, healthy living and daily activity.
The centerpiece of the CircusFit program is an educational curriculum designed specifically for kids in grades 2-5 that features 21 interactive lesson plans which Ringling Bros. is making available to teachers, youth leaders and other educators for free through the Web site www.CircusFit.com. Each CircusFit lesson takes approximately 20 minutes to complete and includes a variety of implementation options which can be customized to fit a wide range of group sizes, abilities and schedules.
In launching CircusFit, Ringling Bros. has joined forces with the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sport to promote CircusFit and physical activity across America. Schools and afterschool programs are being invited to participate in CircusFit as part of their involvement in the annual President’s Challenge.
