SCHIEDAM – We are looking for 25 families for the Family Fit project, where either parent or child is overweight. Family Fit is a project for parents and children that has been set up in collaboration with the municipality of Schiedam, MEE Rotterdam, Lekker Bezig Schiedam and the Willem Alexander sports park.
We all see a change taking place in youth: not sports, but iPad, Tiktok, Youtube, and all other social media. As a result, obesity now occurs in approximately twenty percent of children. More than half of these cases are ‘extremely obese’.
As a result, several of these children have an increased risk of:
- heart and vascular disease;
- high bloodpressure;
- diabetes (type 2 diabetes). This in turn can lead to cardiovascular disease, or complaints to the eyes, kidneys, nerves and feet;
- arthrosis;
- cancer;
- (lower back pain;
- muscle strain;
- sleep disturbances;
- sweating.
With the Family Fit project we ensure that parents exercise together with children. Completely on their own level. During exercise, participants can wear a heart rate monitor to monitor exactly how many calories they burn during exercise. In addition, participants receive nutritional advice and use is made of the nutrition registration app to tackle overweight.
This trial was made possible in part by the municipality of Schiedam and the Willem Alexander sports park. As a result, the costs for the candidates are only € 10 per month per person.
For only €10 per month:
- 2 x per week training;
- Live heart rate measurement during exercise;
- nutritional advice;
- food registration;
- Coaching in their daily diet.
So sign up now via www.beyond-fighting.nl/familyfit and start this week already.
