Physical fitness is certainly part of a healthy lifestyle, but it is essential for martial arts students. I have created the Youth Fitness Stars Program to motivate our youth students to focus on their fitness level. Although his is a new program, just launched this year, we already have our first certified Fitness Star: Sam Mohit (Yellow Belt). Way to go Sam!
To earn his Fitness Star awards, Sam had to complete 10 fitness challenges for the year including:
- 90 second wall sit (ouch)
- 3 minutes of jumping jacks
- 15 correct push-ups
Congratulations to Sam – hopefully there will many more students who follow your lead.
