    20.4% of kids

    Of American children are obese or are at risk for obesity

    To help fight and prevent Obesity, kids need to move! The reality though is that our lives aren't set up for movement. With 7+ hour seated school days and busy parent work schedules, it's tough to keep modern kids healthy.

    Lead sedentary lives

    It's too easy for kids nowadays to become sedentary and carry that into adulthood. The healthy habits learned at Tiny Champions can benefit kids for life, and can fight the seemingly inevitable march of adult onset health issues.

    40% of Adults

    Almost half of Adults are sedentary

    More and more it seems inevitable that as kids grow into adults, they slow down and become unhealthy. It doesn't have to be this way, but we have to create healthy movement habits before it's too late.
