Double, double, toil and trouble (with flexibility?)
Join for a little stretch magic your body will thank you for! 👻

Moving your body gets blood flowing to your muscles, a spell that can help you feel more awake and energized.

And no cauldron-sized time commitment needed: the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends stretching the major muscle groups at least 2–3 days a week, with even greater gains if you stretch daily. The recipe? Hold each stretch for 10–30 seconds and repeat 2–4 times.

📌 Save this post for the next time you need a quick energy-boosting potion!

Happy Halloween from Fit Kids 🎃

These kids already do hard things every day. 💪

On The Hard Way With Joe De Sena, Fit Kids Executive Director Ashley Hunter told Spartan Race founder Joe De Sena | Entrepreneur why movement matters so much for the kids we serve:

“They do hard things every day… physical activity can help you develop the tools to get through hard things.”

At Fit Kids, that looks like mindfulness, relay races, and obstacle courses with weights at partner sites in under-resourced communities, and kids discovering their bodies can do more than they think.

Feel Good Friday 🧡💙

The best part of our kids school or after-school is moving and grooving!

This is your sign to switch up your movements

Goat Drills 🐐🔥

Quick feet, body control, and a whole lot of movement! Goat drills are a great way to work on agility and coordination while keeping students on their toes.

Not every drill needs to be polished or complicated. Get them moving, let them figure it out, and have some fun with it!

Thank you Coach Sergio Maldonado, MS, CSCS for showing us awesome ways to get agile.

PE teachers — add this one to your toolbox 👀

So maybe we don’t have any cons.

We just love moving and feel good doing it! We love seeing kids be challenged to be active. And we can tell it makes them feel good too.

Follow for more ways to love movement and exercise!

(But we can’t promise jumping over your brother skills)

Shoutout the students at (Fit Kids Site 32 of 200) for showing us how it’s done!

As they say, it’s priceless.

The work that coaches and instructors do for our students is priceless. Each rep, each drill, each obstacle course helps build students confidence, strength, and endurance.

Because of great coaches, students walk away from practice (or a Fit Kids session) with valuable skills that serve them on the blacktop and in the classroom. that can last a lifetime.

Thank you, coaches, for helping the next generation feel the joy of movement.

Send this to your favorite Coach!

The number of youth sports coaches in the U.S. dropped from 8.4 million in 2022 to 7.2 million today, even as more kids are signing up to play.

Fit Kids’ answer: equipment and curriculum simple and engaging enough that any adult, trained coach or not, can run it. You don’t need to be a coach to be one.

Five words. That’s all it took. 💥

“You can do hard things.”

That’s what Ashley Hunter (Ashley Lauren Hunter) told her son — and it’s the same thing she tells 30,000 kids a year through Fit Kids.

Huge thanks to Joe De Sena (Joe De Sena | Entrepreneur) and the Spartan Race team for having her on The Hard Way Podcast (The Hard Way With Joe De Sena).

And for something bigger than a podcast: every year, Spartan gives our students the chance to join the Spartan Kids, like After-School All-Stars LV! Seeing them cross that line? Unbeatable.

Strong bodies build something you can’t see on a finish line — the confidence that keeps kids moving when it gets hard.

That’s Fit Kids. That’s Spartan. Same finish line. 🎙️
