About This Activity
"""Kids are natural runners, but spend a lot of time hearing “No Running!” How many times does a child hear this? No running in the halls… No running in the house… No running at the pool… It goes on and on. The HIGH FIVES RUNNING CLUB puts a stop to the “No Running” and let’s the kids fly! Crawl, Stand, Walk, Jog, Run… Gradually developing the habit to run can change and impact ones life forever. This program will bring a shot of energy with the daily warm-up game, then blast off with the daily workout. Our goal for the HIGH FIVES RUNNING CLUB is to get heart rates raised and to increase endurance. Kids are naturally flexible, but how often do they get the chance to pause, breathe, and stretch it out? Between the hustle of schoolwork and activities, young minds and bodies need a moment to slow down, recharge, and build strength from the inside out. That’s where YOUNG YOGIS comes in! This program flips the script on “Sit still!” and shows kids how to connect movement with breath in a fun, empowering way. From animal poses and balance challenges to breathing games and quiet reflections, YOUNG YOGIS helps children grow stronger, more focused, and more confident—on and off the mat."""
