Parents worried about a child's fitness will find STRONG KIDS, HEALTHY KIDS comes from a personal trainer who here reveals how his popular adult fitness routines can be adapted for kids of all ages, no matter what his or her athletic ability. Frederick Hahn has spent the last ten years developing these safe exercises for kids as young as seven years old, and here gives the basics on how kids can get strong fast. Any library catering to parents and educators needs this.

A Powerful Message for Parents and Their Kids

Fred has done an extraordinary thing in this book. He has forever destroyed the myth that strength training for kids is dangerous and unproductive. Using the scientific literature, Fred shows how strength training can benefit children by making them stronger, and how it is the best way to favorably alter body composition in kids. The middle section teaches how to perform proper strength training in any setting available such as home, school or the gym. Finally, Fred attacks the myth of the contemporary food pyramid by providing a healthy food plan (not a diet) that provides the healthiest food choices that kids will love. This book is a must read for any parent and should be the manual for every physical education class in this country. Bravo Fred! Doug McGuff, MD

This Book Could Easily Have Been Called "Slow Burn For Kids"

Everybody at some point or another gets on a fitness kick and tries to incorporate exercise into their family life for the sake of their health. It's a noble task that oftentimes ends in quick failure because you didn't have a clear-cut plan of action to make this new discipline become a permanent part of your regular routine. Fitness expert Fred Hahn understands this and wanted to equip parents and children alike with exercise that will be efficient, effective, and effortless compared to any activity you've ever done before to improve your strength and health. The playful language that Hahn uses definitely reveals he's a daddy who knows how to talk to his child. And that "voice" comes through loud and clear throughout the book. This book could easily have been called "Slow Burn For Kids" because many of the principles are taken directly from Hahn's bestselling Slow Burn Fitness Revolution book co-written with Drs. Mike and Mary Dan Eades. Combine "slow burn" fitness with a healthy low-carbohydrate nutritional approach and you have a perfect way to make your kids stronger and healthier than you ever thought possible!
