This book is an adventurous journey for children into how muscles work with the brain to create movement. The purpose of this book is to educate and stimulate children ages 7-12 in the area of why exercise is good for them by writing directly to them. Parents, educators, youth fitness professionals, and coaches can also glean wisdom from this book on how to apply these directions into specific conditioning programs that are safe and do not result in injury. Exercise can impart tremendous value and character qualities to youths in ways that many other areas cannot reach into the tangible, black-and-white lessons of life. These aspects include healthy social skills, self-esteem + confidence, body and mind discipline, respect for elders, and the value of honest/hard work-ethic. Exercise can also make you feel more relaxed, give you a positive outlook, and contributes greatly to having a very healthy body and a long enjoyable life. Movement patterns for 5 different sports (football, basketball, baseball, soccer, and track) and how they happen is examined. Photos and drawings are strategically interspersed to give visual aids and explain what certain concepts mean. Also included is a 'definitions and deliberations' section where children can learn new fitness terms and have questions posed to them designed to spark critical thinking in the arena of exercise and sports.
