Do You Want Smarter Kids? Its Exercise

Image by Getty Images via @daylifeThe leaves are almost ready to fall and the kids are back in school.  There are so many things a parent can do to help their kids do well in school.  But there is something that you can do that you might be overlooking.  In a recent article in the New York Times, it reported on a study of school kids ages 9 and 10 and how the kids fitness level related to their ability to perform well in school and on tests.

Now, anyone of my generation can remember the Shool House Rock shows on TV that told us that exercise was good for us.  But that message was long before video games, TV's with 100's of channels and computer games.  I think its a message that needs to be promoted now more than ever.

This a more important now, more than ever, when you consider that childhood obesity rates are showing a clear movement in the wrong direction.  If the reports are any indication, kids today are becomming more unfit and more obese at rates never seen before.

These findings arrive at an important time. For budgetary and administrative reasons, school boards are curtailing physical education, while on their own, children grow increasingly sluggish. Recent statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that roughly a quarter of children participate in zero physical activity outside of school.

Would this also indicate, considering the recent study cited in the New York Times article, that these kids are also finding themself at a disadvantage in their education?

At Team Beachbody, we know that fitness and exercise if important to everyone at every age.  So we have great in-home fitness programs for kids, teens, adults and seniors. 

Check out out this quick video about our kids fitness program

Are Your Friends Making You Fat?

There is a reason we encourage people the join the Team Beachbody support community and WOWY.  Starting a fitness program and working towards new fitness goals can be a challenge.  Finding the Support and advice you need from other like minded people can go a long way to keep you motivated and moving towards your goal.

A recent article in the New York Times showed a strong social connection between social connections like friends and family and being overweight and obesity.

In what I find to be one of the more shocking parts of the article, it reported a person’s chance of becoming obese increased 57 percent if the person had a friend who became obese. Another surprising finding of the study, published in The New England Journal of Medicine, was that one’s chance of becoming obese was influenced not only by the weight gain of friends but also by friends of friends who gained weight.

There is a lot more information in this article and I would encourage you to give it serious consideration.  If you are beginning a weightloss program with Team Beachbody or you have fitness goals you are working towards and don't feel you have the support you need or want from people around you, there is an entire community of others that are working towards similar fitness goals as well as Team Beachbody Coaches like myself ready to support you.  We are all waiting for you at WOWY the Team Beachbody support community.

Team Beachbody and the Business Behind It.

If you've done any research on Beachbody as a business or becoming a part of Team Beachbody as a home based business, you are sure to have realized that Team Beachbody is set up as a direct sales company also called Network Marketing.

Why? Isn't Beachbody already a multi-million dollar company based on massive infomercials and extremely popular in-home fitness programs like P90X and Insanity?

Yes, it is. But as the CEO of Beachbody explains, network marketing is the best way to get as many people involved in sharing and promoting a product or idea when compared to even massive infomercial campaigns.

After all, people having massive health and fitness transformations in their life and then having their friends, family and coworkers watch this transformation and then sharing how they did it with these people is the essence of network marketing itself.

And so it is for Beachbody and Team Beachbody. Helping others get healthy and fit has much more impact when this is done by people who have used our programs and products, experienced the results and life change and then gone on to share it with and inspire others. Its just that simple.

Network Marketing and Team Beachbody just make sense because real success in a network marketing home based business is not a result of "selling" products, true success in network marketing comes form helping other people. Helping them become successful and with Team Beachbody, that includes people helping other people become fit and healthy.

To get a better understanding of why network marketing may be your only real option in an economy that does not seem to be improving, I included the video below from financial teacher Robert Kiyosaki. Watch the video from a business perspective and be open to the information he shares with us.

Lets Play a Game and Get Fit

Fitness is Fun!  Yes, you heard me.  Fitness and exercise should be fun!

We all realize and understand that the results of a challenging 90 Boot Camp like P90X, Insanity or RevAbs is well worth the effort.  But sometime getting through those long and intense boot camps can be hard.

One thing I as well as other Team Beachbody Coaches and Beachbody itself wants you and others to realize is that fitness itself and living a Fit by Choice life can and is a fun way of living.

So...

Let's play a game.  Here are the Rules of this game.

Step 1.  Follow me on Twitter or on FourSquare and check my updates about places I'm at around the Minneapolis or Twin Cites Metro area

Step 2.  Find me or one of my Team members in a Shakeology T-Shirt or with a Shakeology Shaker Cup

Step 3.  Give us one of two secret code phrases "BRING IT" or "NUTRITION SIMPLIFIED" and get a reward.

If you just give us the code phrase you will get a Free sample pack of Shakeology.  If you give us the code phrase and your contact information or business card, I will give you one of our cool Shakeology Shaker Cups.

You will also want to follow me on Foursquare so you can find out about some cool scavanger hunts and other things me and my team will be doing in the months ahead all around the Twin Cities and in Minneapolis
