As a parent, you have a tremendous influence over your kids. Remember, they look up to you as a role model – following your lead. It is a fact that parents who are physically fit, engage in a daily workout or are physically active and eat nutritionally are far more likely to have physically fit children.

Childhood obesity concerns are top of mind for most parents these days as they will affect the health and well-being of future generations. More schools and after-school programs are stepping up physical fitness initiatives to help combat this tremendous and steadily increasing epidemic. Ringling Bros. specifically created CircusFit^SM to provide educators with a fun way to incorporate fitness, nutrition and healthy living curriculum into their classrooms and after-school programs.

Ringling Bros. invites parents to work with your local school or youth organizations to learn how you can reinforce at home some of the healthy living and fitness lessons your children are learning. Reinforcement at home can help make healthy living a habit not just for kids, but for the entire family.

Coming soon in this section are family fitness tips, healthy recipes and fun physical games your family can play together to become CircusFit!
