Next Friday, July 19, 2009 the roadshow called “London 2012″ will be in Northumberland as part of their tour of the United Kingdom. The goal of the show is to promote physical fitness in the youth of Northumberland day schools and schools throughout the region. There will be an event called ‘Street Games, and everyone should attend. The day promises to be a fun packed day, as well as educational as they will exhibit some new games for kids to take part in. They will take into consideration the weight, height and overall fitness of each child to determine the sport that is best suited for them.
They will also encourage the kids to get out and get active, filling them in on the various facilities and clubs that are in their neighborhoods. The chairman of the roadshow is Sebastian Coe, and he states that they are going across the country in an attempt to present to people, kids specifically, that sports are a way of finding ones own personal talents. All of the events are free for the kids to participate in, more than one hundred and sixty kids from all areas will be able to try out basketball, tennis, archery and handball.
There are so many benefits to experience from regular exercise. Those who begin to exercise early in life will have less of a chance of becoming over weight adults, their bones and muscles will be stronger, and regular physical decreases ones chances of diabetes. And aside from the physical benefits, studies show that they will get better sleep at night and be better able to handle emotional or physical challenges in life. One just feels better in general. There are three elements to fitness that the roadshow will address, strength, flexibility and endurance. With so many channels on the television, and so much of life taking place on the computer, the importance of getting kids involved early on in age will affect and enhance the rest of their lives.
