CIRCUIT TRAINING FOR OBESE KIDS

By: Erica DiAngelo

WHAT EXACTLY IS THIS?

This is a form of conditioning combining resistance and high intensity aerobics.

It is designed to be easy to follow and target strength building as well as muscular endurance.

Each "circuit" is one completion of all prescribed exercises in the program. When one circuit is complete, another begins the first exercise again for another circuit.

ABOUT

We don’t have anything like this for children We only see this in facilities for adults These type of circuits are usually 30-60

minutes per session It’s a quick way to get off them unwanted

pounds and stay fit

SO WHY NOT CREATE THIS IDEA FOR CHILDREN TO

DECREASE THE OBESITY RATE AND GIVE THEM

THE ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF DAILY

EXERCISE THEY NEED?

It’s a quick way to reduce the obesity rate and make a change in these children’s lives

WHAT I WILL BE DOING Setting up a circuit training program for obese

children This will be a place they can attend a few

times a week with children who look similar to their shape and size, and get the proper workout needed to live a better lifestyle

This will pull them away from the sedentary routine and force them to become more active

TRICKING MADE EASY

Beings that we already have a facility were going to create a fun upbeat place where parents can drop there kids off to get their exercise in

The thing is were going to trick kids into thinking this is just a fun activity to take part in 

Little do they know there going to be getting in shape and shedding them pounds in order to prevent diseases

THE PLAN I will develop a sequence that will keep

the children intrigued and want come back

There will be all positivity in this room I will be playing upbeat music on the

Ipad that will cater to their age group Each child will write down 1 song per

class that they want to here for the next class in order to have them be involved

WHAT WE HAVE Like I stated we already have the means

to set this up; therefore we wont have to rent out a new facility

We already have a clientele beings that many adults attend here for adult circuit training classes; therefore we will spread the word and have them bring their children

WHAT IS TAKING PLACE NOW Children have become so used to the sedentary

lifestyle and don’t have the “oomph” to get off the couch and away from them video games because they view exercise as boring

Children suffering from obesity don’t feel comfortable doing physical activities around the skinny popular kids because there scared of getting made fun of

This is where we step in and make it fun and a positive place to go

This is what we want to

put a stop to

WHAT WE WILL NEED TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN

Each class to consist of 15 children who are around the same weight class

10 different stations for children to go to Equipment Highly qualified personal trainers who

specialize with obese children

GRAND TOTAL OF: $14,635.95

IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF MONEY RIGHT?

Think of it this way if we hold 7 classes or more per day and have 7 classes per day that comes to about 105 kids per day

We can charge $50.00 per child which would be about $5,200.00 per day

Imagine once the word spreads the profit you can have in a knick of time

Also we can expand by franchising and opening up these facilities all around the US to tackle the obesity rate

THE IDEA There will be 15 children per class Each class will be 60 minutes long It will start with a 3 minute warm up and

stretch Then each station will be 1 minute long In between each station the children will have

20 seconds to transition to the next station They will do the 15 circuits 2 time around They will end with a 3 minute cool down They will then sit in a circle where I will show

the class things on the Ipad to help portray the importance of exercising

WRAPPING THIS UP This is an awesome way to have children

interact with one another and build their social skills instead of sitting in front of the TV

It’s a great preventative program for children to help avoid diseases

It will help children not only feel good about attending the classes, but also feel good about themselves when they see their shedding some pounds
