March is National Nutrition Month and the team of Hy-Vee dietitians would like to focus on the kids. With childhood obesity and sedentary lifestyles on the rise, Hy-Vee has a developed a variety of programs to help busy families adopt healthier lifestyles.
People shy away from going to the gym for a number of reasons — no time, too tired, and high membership costs being the most common. Hy-Vee KidsFit takes these genuine concerns and turns them into healthy solutions for the entire family.
In our January newsletter, we introduced Hy-VeeKidsFit.com as a fun way to get your children, or the entire family, up and active during the cold month of January. This month, we are featuring Hy-Vee KidsFit Part 2, in case you need another push to get started!
Hy-Vee KidsFit can be completed in as little as 20 minutes a day. These free online videos led by our personal trainer, Daira, provide everything you need to help the entire family become more active. The five-week challenge and other training guides are included to keep fitness fresh. Nutritious recipes that are simple and tasty are also included.
