Youth Fitness



Matt Brzycki and Fred Fornicola have collaborated again and this time they address the widespread worries about the fitness of America’s kids. In their new book Youth Fitness: An Action Plan for Shaping America’s Kids, they take on the daunting task of guiding young Americans in their journey to become healthier and get fit. The book outlines age-appropriate applications for building strength, increasing aerobic fitness, improving flexibility and making better nutritional choices. The authors tackle many issues that plague today's kids such as "the sedentary youth," obesity, diabetes and more with the hopes of making fitness a part of every youth's life for now and in the future.

Youth Fitness: An Action Plan for Shaping America’s Kids has been endorsed as a valuable resource and learning tool for:

Take a look at what some people are saying about Youth Fitness:

“As a high school physical education teacher, I see daily the effects that sedentary lifestyles have on young people. It’s essential to give parents and children the tools for developing realistic, lifelong fitness habits. Youth Fitness: An Action Plan for Shaping America’s Kids is a great resource for anyone looking to make lifestyle changes and get started on the path to optimal health.” Rick Rignell, MA, CSCS - Physical Education Teacher and Strength Coach, Anoka High School - Anoka, Minnesota

“Today’s young people will have a shorter life expectancy than their parents if we are not able to address the epidemic of childhood obesity. Youth Fitness: An Action Plan for Shaping America’s Kids provides important and critical information to parents, educators and community leaders in the struggle to shift the culture of America.” William Lovett – President, New Jersey Alliance of YMCAs - Metuchen, New Jersey

“Given the alarming increase in childhood obesity, any fitness plan that can be easily implemented at both home and school to address this crisis should be embraced. We have a moral obligation to see that our youth receives the tools to become healthy adults. The action plan provided in this book is an excellent means to that end.”
Paul F. Hastings - Executive Director, U. S. Marines Youth Foundation, sponsor of the Youth Physical Fitness Program - Fairfax, Virginia
