Fit Kids, Smarter Kids
by Jeff Galloway

This book is a guide for parents, teachers, youth leaders, and anyone who wants to help kids become more active, and make better food choices. Because much of the learning comes from following an example, I’m asking that each parent or leader make a commitment to regularly exercise. This will not only show the kids you’re serious about the benefits. Like the fit kids, you’ll improve your attitude and vitality, you’ll also relieve stress, while statistically extending your lifespan. Best of all—you’ll feel better.

The mission of this book is to give kids and adults the tools to take control over their fitness, their nutrition, their energy level and their attitude. The result is better control over your life. You’ll find inside an explanation of the processes that produce health and good nutrition, and the endless stream of benefits that come to those who regularly exercise and eat correctly.

Most kids want to be fit kids
Almost every child wants to move around, run, jump, exert himself or herself, and glow from the exertion. If you’ve ever tried to stop a kid from moving around you know what I mean.

Kids first
This program is designed to help kids improve their current attitude, energy level, health, and provide a strong basis for success as adults. Whenever there is a decision about the direction of the program the first question should be: “Is this the best for the child”.

Fit kids have more fun
The exertion from fitness (even when the exercise is gentle) energizes kids and adults and makes them more positive. Fun just happens when kids engage in these activities.

Fit kids are more responsible kids
As kids make a contract with parents, teachers, leaders or themselves, they start the process of being responsible people.

Fit kids eat good-tasting energizing food
In this book you’ll find a variety of foods, menu choices, snacks, and other suggestions from highly acclaimed dietician Nancy Clark.

Positive reinforcement gets results.
Recognizing kids for their efforts and accomplishments tells them that they are successful. Kids tend to do activities where they can succeed. Parents and teachers can make this happen every day.

Fit kids are smarter kids
Any kid who wants to pursue the limitless benefits of fitness has to be a smart kid, but there’s much more to this story. Read on!
