Childhood Obesity, Michele Obama, Let's Move & Lang Ranch Elementary


Just this week Michele Obama came out with a campaign against childhood obesity. It is a national epidemic, and I applaud her coming out with her power and prestige against it. Please go check out http://www.letsmove.gov/ for information about her campaign.

We here in California can be proud that we have some amazing women working to keep our kids healthy. I am thinking specifically of the women of the Nutrition & Wellness Committee of the Lang Ranch Elementary School in Thousand Oaks. This was their 4th Annual Green Ribbon Week focussing on family and childhood fitness. The event includes lunchtime classes, special curriculum focuses on health for all grades and a Family Health Challenge. Debbie Aleman was the amazing lady I worked with for this event as the Strong Body Studio, LLC was privileged to be chosen as the mind/body studio to lead the students through a Kid's lunchtime Pilates session.

I have led a bunch of these kind of classes in Agoura, Calabasas and Oak Park, and I never tire of the eagerness and energy of our kids. If anyone in my communities of Oak Park, Westlake Village, Calabasas, Topanga, Agoura & Malibu is planning similar event, I would be honored and totally jazzed to come pull out all the fun Pilates' stops!!


Remember:

A STRONG body is a BEAUTIFUL body!!!!
