Physical Fitness After-School Programs
Generation Excel is committed to helping children fight obesity through fitness programs and nutrition education. We are working with established Boston-area programs, as well as developing our own, to offer affordable or free after-school programsto at-risk kids. In addition to keeping them active now, we are introducing kids to various sports and activities, including martial arts, swimming, aerobics, and tennis, among others.
DVD For Parents
In 2005, we will start pre-production on an educational and instructional DVD for parents of overweight children entitled Waisted Youth – Strategies for Keeping Your Child Healthy. The DVD will encompass advice from experts in the field of pediatric obesity. It will cover not only what parents can do to keep their children healthy, but just as importantly how. A weight issue, no matter what age, makes for extremely low self-esteem – we aim to help parents make changes in a positive and lasting way. The DVD will be promoted nationally and available at no cost from the foundation.
