Nature vs Nurture: You either have it or don't you? At MD Health, we have seen naturally athletic children who has the 'gift' or 'talent' to play sports. However, most kids don't. It can be trained.
My child is not interested in sports, is it a lost cause? Children shy away from sports when they struggle to keep up with the rest of their peers. They don't want to be exposed so they hide this by staying indoors playing video games or telling you that they hate sports. This inactivity will result in weight gain and bad habits and over time, low self esteem. This can be changed.
My child is becoming overweight, what can we do about it? Obesity amongst children is rising at an alarming rate. Obese children become obese adults. If obesity is not addressed at a young age, as an adult the chances of staying obese is very high. Act on it now and stop the cycle.
Functional Training At MD Health, we are able to train your children to improve their 'hand-eye' coordination. This skill which comes naturally to some but not most kids is a trainable skill.
We have trained many kids in as little as 7 weeks and noticed their increase in extracurricular activities and change in attitude towards sports. Parents have reported increased participation in sports they used to dislike.
Our functional training will ensure your kids have the necessary skill to excel and most of all, enjoy sports they like. The training itself will have some minor effect on their weight, however, it's their increase in skill and confidence that will have a major impact on weight issues.
How long is the program? Normally, we run 13-week programs for adults but for kids 12 years or under, a 7-week Functional Program is all that is required. They must do 2x1/2 hour sessions per week every week for 7 consecutive weeks. Since a lot of attention and supervision is required, the program will be delivered as 1-1 sessions only.
