WHY CircusFit?
U.S. health officials have identified a new epidemic impacting the youth of America – it is childhood obesity and inactivity and the number of children affected is staggering. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the percentage of children and adolescents who are defined as overweight has more than doubled in the past 20 years. If this trend continues, overweight children are more inclined to be prone to a host of weight-related illnesses, including diabetes and heart disease in adulthood. More info.
CircusFit MOTIVATES KIDS TO MOVE!
The spectacular circus performers at Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® are also accomplished athletes who need to be in top physical condition, making them ideal “real life” role models who can encourage young people to be active and fit. Through the CircusFit Program, the Ringling Bros. acrobats, clowns, high wire and trapeze artists, and many of our other performer-athletes help show youth an awe-inspiring and action-packed approach to health and fitness – motivating them to get up and move with games and activities that are more play than work.
