Strong Kids, Healthy Kids: The Revolutionary Program for Increasing Your Child's Fitness in 30 Minutes a Week

Parents worried about a child's fitness will find STRONG KIDS, HEALTHY KIDS comes from a personal trainer who here reveals how his popular adult fitness routines can be adapted for kids of all ages, no matter what his or her athletic ability. Frederick Hahn has spent the last ten years developing these safe exercises for kids as young as seven years old, and here gives the basics on how kids can get strong fast. Any library catering to parents and educators needs this.

Fred has done an extraordinary thing in this book. He has forever destroyed the myth that strength training for kids is dangerous and unproductive. Using the scientific literature, Fred shows how strength training can benefit children by making them stronger, and how it is the best way to favorably alter body composition in kids. The middle section teaches how to perform proper strength training in any setting available such as home, school or the gym. Finally, Fred attacks the myth of the contemporary food pyramid by providing a healthy food plan (not a diet) that provides the healthiest food choices that kids will love. This book is a must read for any parent and should be the manual for every physical education class in this country. Bravo Fred! Doug McGuff, MD
