"Shapes for Kids!" Life Fitness for Grades 5 through 12
Talley, Julie Stiles
Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance (JOPERD), v75 n2 p14 Feb 2004
This article describes an exercise program for children. "Shapes for Kids," takes the same 30-minute approach at the Curves workout for women. The program is set up using 20 stations, which rotate upper-body work, abdominal exercises, lower-body work, and cardiovascular exercises. Some stations combine more than one component. Children change stations every 30 seconds, thereby completing the circuit once in 10 minutes, and each station is done three times for a 30-minute workout. This article briefly describes the "Shapes for Kids" program.
