Class #44 Y4F (Youth for Fitness) Thursday 4:15 p.m. (Brian)
I'm approaching the half-way mark of my Find Fred Group Ex project and today I participated in my second class formatted specifically for our adolescent age group members. We've had the Y4F classes for over a year now and they've become a very special part of our programming. Experts who study our society's ongoing battle with childhood obesity agree that an early introduction to exercise and healthy eating choices is critical for establishing a lifelong healthy lifestyle. In my opinion, the key to getting kids to enjoy exercise is to make it fun. Our Y4F classes are all about fun and today's hour-long session confirmed that once again.  I joined Brian Bravo and his energetic group of young PAC members today for another spirited game of kickball in the gymnasium. We lowered the court dividing curtain and set up our bases. As players joined us in progress we ended up with about eight players on each side, with an even distribution of boys and girls. Brian and PAC Fitness Staff member Ren Gandolfo each played on one of the teams to help keep the game moving and organized. The focus is all on having fun and participation, with just a little healthy competitive spice added to make things interesting. I joined the action and played on one of the teams. It was such a wonderful stroll down memory lane and kickball is still as much fun as it was back in the 1960s during my younger days.
I was quite impressed some of the great athletic plays executed by our young PAC members! We got game! Brain, thanks so much for allowing me to participate again today. I'll be looking forward to my third and final Y4F session coming up in the near future. The PAC gift card winner for this afternoon's Y4F class is Olivia Mcguyer. Congratulations Olivia! PARTICIPATION HONOR ROLL: Olivia Mcguyer (gift card winner)
