Kids’ obesity rate climbing
Canada:
In the last 25 years, the obesity rate among children and youth has nearly tripled. As many as 26 per cent of kids between two and 17 years are now overweight or obese. That number jumps to 41 per cent among First Nations children. …
Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology, ParticipACTION, Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario Research Institute, Healthy Active Living and Obesity Research Group (CHEO-HALO) are all supporting some new guidelines:
… urge parents of kids aged one to four to get their kids moving for 180 minutes, or three hours, a day. That doesn’t have to mean calisthenics; it could simply mean allowing children to play, crawl or walk – as long as it gets them moving.
By age five, kids should be spending at least 60 minutes, or an hour, a day in “energetic” play, meaning running, jumping around and active playing. …
We’ve got children younger than 18 months in my gym. What about yours?

82yr-old Gymnast Ron Rodger
Masters Gymnastics:
Great story in the Daily Mail about 82-year-old British gymnast, Ron Rodger. He started gymnastics in his 20′s then became a three-time British Veteran Champion (equivalent of masters) until retiring from competitions in his early 70′s.
“I suppose it’s quite unusual for someone of my age. I’m not as good as I was in my prime when I was 75, but as long as I can still do it I will carry on,” says Ron. …

Norbert’s Ball Corral

Four walls easily connect with a hook and loop fastening system.
Includes a detachable vinyl floor sheet.
Balls sold separately. Requires 3500 balls.

I love that the balls are sold separately. I would consider filling them up with foam cubes to have an instant mini-pit for the pre-schoolers. Considering it’s set-up and take down capabilities, I’m sure it would be much easier to clean than a built-in pit.
