Live WellDOES YOUR CHILD KNOW HOW TO LIVE WELL?
The Live Well Company is pleased to announce Kid-Letics, a real-deal exercise class for kids age 6 to 12 that incorporates calisthenics, agility, balance, sport-specific movements, and even boxing. More important, it’s fantastic for building self-esteem and a foundation for enjoying health and fitness as part of life. We’re not jumping on a trend: We’ve been training children for the past 11 years—this is something we value and love. Great for all kids, no matter how sporty, the one-hour class is Saturdays at 8:30 a.m., with room for eight participants. Reserve a spot ($30) by emailing thelivewellcompany@yahoo.com by 5:30 p.m. the Friday before. Sponsored.
