According to the Wall Street Journal the youth fitness market has grown into a four billion dollar industry and is poised to become the highest grossing segment of the entire wellness industry over the next 5 - 10 years.
This video got me thinking about the future of fitness. With the soaring obesity rates in todays youth, I am still trying to be optimistic.
This kid surely never got to do what you will see on this video by lying around the house playing video games and eating potato chips. I am sure he put in many hours of consistent training with just his bodyweight to perform as he do while still only in high school!
Kids just need to be active and move, play sports, jump, run and play. All these things will improve strength, balance, coordination and contribute to life long health.
No matter what your age you can start an exercise program in your own home with just your bodyweight. The best bodyweight training program on the market today is the Turbulence Training Bodyweight Manual. The cool thing about this is its an e-book (electronic book) that you can download to your computer instantly and be able to start working out at home right away with no equipment!
