There are many news reports and research columns about the need to increase fitness opportunities for America’s youth. Our youth are living in a culture made up of chronic sedentary lifestyle. This is a consequence of computers, video games, TV and other technologies, fast food and services that keep us all sitting down and being waited upon. It is also evident that this lifestyle has huge potential to spoil mature growth into responsible adulthood of mutual human respect. We are so busy being waited upon that we forget those waiting on us are human just as we are.
CrossFusion Youth is a fitness initiative that encourages physical fitness through fun activities with an emphasis on strength training, cardiovascular exercise, flexibility and good nutrition. But we also desire to coach youth about the responsibility of making healthy choices in all avenues of their lives including how they deal with themselves and one another.
