Types of Exercise Activities
Our programs follow the CDC guidelines for school-aged children and incorporate the following three critical areas for youth development:
1. Aerobic
Most of the 60 minutes or more per day should be either moderate- or vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity and should include vigorous-intensity physical activity.
Some of our favorite activities include jump roping, jogging, and running tic-tac-toe.
2. Muscle-strengthening
As part of their 60 minutes or more of daily physical activity, children and adolescents should include a muscle-strengthening physical activity.
For youth that are between the ages of 6-12, we recommend exercises such as modified push ups, planks, bodyweight exercises, and exercises that include tube bands.
3. Bone-strengthening
As part of their 60 minutes or more of daily physical activity, children and adolescents should include bone-strengthening physical activity.
Some of our favorite exercises to improve bone density include repeat jumps, depth jumps, agility drills, and plyometric movements.
According to the CDC, youth and adolescents between the ages of 6-17 should be exercising moderately to vigorously at least 60 minutes per day. Peak’s after school fitness program provides children of all abilities with an opportunity to be active while instilling positive character traits, healthy habits, and learning to work with others.
