The Wellness Center at University Healthcare Berkeley Medical Center offered a summer fitness program for kids 5-11 years of age.
The Wellkids F.I.T. (Fun in Training) was created as a workout for kids while their parents or grandparents were working out in the center. The goal of the program was to help kids get a head start on developing healthy habits that can last a lifetime. The program included creative games and activities that got everyone up and moving to improve cardio fitness, strength and flexibility.
For the last day of the program, Gary Auerbach, a World Freestyle Frisbee Champion, stopped by to teach the kids some tricks with frisbees. Auerbach spoke to youth on the importance of play and movement and gets them up moving and having fun.
