Q. Why do I need to do this? Can't I just exercise with my family on my own?
A. Yes, but children need a novel approach to exercise. The children (and adults) who participate in Big O! Family Fitness Challenge will feel a sense of community and pride being involved with families around Omaha. It gives the exercises you do more meaning and purpose. You just cannot say to children, okay, time to exercise. That will get boring quickly for them. Teaching young children healthy habits at a young age will create healthy habits that last a lifetime.
Q. What if I cannot get my children interested exercising?
A. Talk to your child's physical education teacher to start the program in their school. If more of your child's friends participate, it may make it more interesting. Feel free to go to the "Downloads" page to get some other fun fitness material for your children
Q. Can we discuss the Big O! Family Fitness challenge with our local media?
A. Yes, by all means. Word of mouth will help make this program stronger. The more people that join in, the better the program becomes for you and your family.
