To date, over one-hundred youth have completed the SYM with the support of numerous volunteers. Youth completing the SYM report increased fitness levels, as well as decreased time spent on the Internet, playing video games, and watching television. In addition to the fitness component, youth receive nutrition information based on the USDA “My Pyramid” program, and report a greater understanding of nutritional issues.

I learned how in Circus Club!

We are juggling, learning to ride unicycles, building human pyramids, jumping rope, balancing on balance boards, tumbling, and more! I am an elementary physical education teacher and this year my gym and my students have come alive through circus arts. Our Circus Club meets every Wednesday and Thursday after school. But, why circus?

Youth Fitness

I will be competing in a triathalon in June of 2008. I am 8 years old and will be competing with adult competitors. I will run 5k, ride a bike 20k and swim 550 meters. I love to play videogames and do not like it when people associate videogames with laziness. I am going to compete with people that have spent their lives training for competitions like this, and show that kids like me can excell, in both gaming and fitness. I need corporate sponsorship to purchase my bike and competition clothing with the GameStop promotion embroidered on it.

Squish Video Games

Squish — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 15:30:34 -0600

Squish is a kid rock band from Vancouver, WA ages 12-15 years old. They are sending a message to their peers across the United States and playing concerts up and down the West Coast, about the dangers of an anti-sedentary lifestyle. Their song, "Personal Space Invader" is about how their friends are in their basements playing video games or watching t.v and how they want to be free from the t.v and are out playing in the sun, riding bikes, water skiing and doing all these fun activities.

Sidewalks

anlstar89@roadrunner.com — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 18:44:04 -0600

My friend and I, for our senior project, have decided to help raise enough money to get our town sidewalks. The sidewalks would help with fitness in our town, since it is one of the most overweight counties in Ohio. We plan to work with our teacher as well as a lady that is heading this project. We have not yet started our project, but we plan to very soon!

Tennis Love

mashasaba — Sat, 22 Dec 2007 12:32:43 -0600

Through my struggle in making the Girls' Varsity Tennis Team I have learned the invaluable lesson that with hard work and determination, I can accomplish anything. In addition, I have also discovered that making a difference in people's lives by teaching proper tennis technique is the most important experience I've had in my tennis career. Coaching beginner tennis players makes me proud and it also relates to the patient, determined, and goal oriented person that I am.
