Encouraging children to step away from screens and get moving is a growing priority for families today. Many parents find it difficult to motivate their kids when traditional exercise feels more like a chore than a fun activity. GYMGUYZ solves this problem by turning physical fitness into an engaging experience that children actually look forward to doing right at home.
In a recent segment on PHL17, GYMGUYZ founder Josh York shared creative ways to boost a child’s activity levels through “play-based” fitness. He suggests incorporating movements like bear crawls, frog jumps, and crab walks to build strength and coordination while keeping the energy high. By tailoring these activities to a child’s specific interests, parents can help them reach their daily activity goals without the need for a gym membership .
“Ideally, exercise will be fun and tailored to your child’s interests so they are just being active and enjoying themselves.”
