Skate Buds Get Fit Stay Fit Fitness Camp

Last week, Skate Buds International had the pleasure of presenting the Skate Buds Get Fit Stay Fit Fitness Camp to the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Dallas.  I think they liked it.  We shall see.

Over the last 12 weeks Skate Buds International  had an opportunity of working with Jarreau Grant at the Boys and Girls Club of Mesquite, Texas.  Over that 12 week period we introduced Skate Buds, Strap-on Heel Skates as a fun and safe way to receive cardiovascular exercise to 50, 5 – 13 year old students.  It was so much fun.

As well as Skate Buds,  functional stretch exercises,  core strengthening exercises, and plyometric exercise were introduced to the students.   Check out the Skate Buds Get Fit Stay Fit Fitness Camp video on YouTube.

(1) Functional Stretch Exercise – At the start of each fitness camp, students will begin with a range of functional stretches for increase flexibility and muscle elasticity. Functional stretch exercises include high knees, lunges, standing toe touch, jumping jacks, and hamstring stretches. Results range from increased muscle control, flexibility, injury prevention and increased athletic performance.

(2) Core Exercise – Core exercises will engage muscles of the abdomen, back, and pelvis.  Improving student’s ability to balance, stabilize, and overall athletic performance.  There are three areas of the core which we focus.  First upper abdominals or rectus abdominis.  Second targeting lower abominals or transverse abdominis.  Last, side abdominals or internal and external obliques.

(3) Plyometric Exercise – Plyometric exercise can include, but is not limited to one leg lateral jumps, two feet lateral jumps, and mountain climbers.  Results include improving student’s muscular strength and endurance.

Skate Buds  provides a fun, safe opportunity to receive cardiovascular exercise daily.  While riding Skate Buds students have the ability to increase heart rate, lung capacity, and muscle strength and endurance.   Another added benefit of cardiovascular exercise is increase blood circulation throughout the body.

Skate Buds Promoting Healthy Lifestyles through Physical Activity and Exercise

In this blog I will educate, to my understanding, the subject of obesity particularly childhood obesity, and further explain why Skate Buds, Strap-On Heel Skates is a great way to reduce and eliminate childhood obesity.  Check out Skate Buds on YouTube.

Childhood obesity is a result of an undeveloped human physiology, in my kinesiologist tone of voice. In layman’s terms, a person has to develop his or her human systems and body functions.   For example, a person whom has rarely stretched his or her hamstring has, over time, undeveloped his or her hamstrings because of the lack of contraction to that muscle.  Results will come in either of two forms (1) injury or (2) limited performance functions.

Childhood obesity is a result of undeveloped human functions and systems.  We can no longer neglect gene properties as the rise of childhood obesity persist.  Yes, a child that is obese, very likely comes from a gene pool that has undeveloped human functions and systems.  In layman’s terms, physically active parents will pass physically active genes.  Parents who have undeveloped human physiology will pass genes that are undeveloped.  Undeveloped does not mean it can not be develop.  It means it hasn’t been developed or needs to be developed further.

How do we eliminate childhood obesity?  Further develop human functions and systems.  We can start with the physical functions.  Obesity is the result of a sedentary lifestyle or a lifestyle which physical function is not priority.  Resulting in physical human functions that become undeveloped.

When a person asks me to assist them with there health and fitness goals, as a personal trainer and kinesiologist, the first question I ask myself, which functions or systems of this body are most undeveloped (i.e. muscular, respiratory, nervous system).  Not, what did this person eat last night or over the last year.

Although I can, most likely, see it plainly.  Once that question is answered, I design and implement a plan that will develop those undeveloped systems or  physical functions.  Resulting in weight loss, muscular endurance, increased flexibility, a more developed human physiology.  Through repetition and over a short amount of time, this newly developed physiology will become your new human physiology.

Its much easier to write about than do.  Mainly, because most people are not intrinsically motivated to understand human functions and systems, as I am.   Also, I was passed this love for the subject matter through my genes, my mom was a former physical education instructor and track coach.  My father was an athlete.

For these reasons, Skate Buds, strap-on heel skates offers the perfect opportunity for moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity or cardiovascular exercise, 30 – 60 minutes, daily. Remember repetition and time is how to develop your human systems and functions. Because Skate Buds are so much fun you can incorporate exercise, increasing heart rate and lung capacity, with fun.

I’ve seen it every Tuesday and Thursday for the last 11 weeks.  I have been volunteering at a local Boys and Girls Club of Mesquite, Texas.  I have a group of 30 to 50, 5 to 13 year old students.  For the first 4 weeks, I began with aerobic style exercise and stretches to increase flexibility and muscular endurance.  Week 5, I introduced a new form of cardiovascular exercise to the students, Skate Buds, strap-on heel skates.  After the students learned the fundamentals of proper heel skating techniques, the exercise or fun really began. Check out the SkateBuds YouTube Channel to see our progress.

I’m calling the fitness camp the Skate Buds Get Fit Stay Fit Fitness Camp.  Skate Buds provides a fun and safe opportunity to promote healthy lifestyles through physical activity and exercise.  Skate Buds allows me the ability to present the application of building muscular endurance, increasing flexibility, heart rate, and lung capacity with the fun of heel skating.  It has been a great experience.  Can’t wait to share this experience with you.

Here’s a question.  What human functions or systems have you developed?  Which of your human functions or systems have not been develop completely?

What is the Aaron Johnson Fit Club blog?

I could not wait to write in my blog, again.  I have decided to write once per week.  This will keep my thoughts fresh and thoughtful.  Here is my second blog, What is the Aaron Johnson Fit Club blog?

As I mentioned in my first blog, I am an athlete, I have a master’s degree in Kinesiology, and a bachelor’s degree in Sociology.  Part of Kinesiology is the study of the relationship between the body and the body’s movement, mainly through exercise and physical activity.  If that’s not clear enough, Google it. Part of Sociology is defining social problems and creating solutions for social problems.

While developing a fitness program for the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Dallas with my product Skate Buds, Strap-on Heel Skates, a student asked a heart felt question.  “Can we join a club to ride Skate Buds?”  At the time, I thought it was a great idea because, up until then, I hadn’t thought of the idea.  I already decided to name my 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization Skate Buds Get Fit Nation, but this “Club” was something I wanted to put my own name on.  Thus Aaron Johnson Fit Club was created.

My last job, I was a personal trainer at 24 Hour Fitness in Dallas.  Currently, I train independently under my own corporation Aaron Johnson Fit Club.  I started this Club at the student’s request and because I understand my current position in life, health and fitness educator.

What you can expect from the Aaron Johnson Fit Club blog is contemporary news and research findings from the latest health and fitness research world.  As a kinesiologist, I’ve spent countless hours reading research articles on health and fitness.  As an athlete, I’ve spent countless hours testing some of those research finding for my own personal development.  As a personal trainer,  I’ve spent countless hours testing research findings on others and developing my own theories.

I will also spend a great deal of my blog time talking about Skate Buds the brand, and Skate Buds, strap-on heel skates the product.  I feel this can be one of the answers to the childhood obesity epidemic, for a few reasons.  First, kids love them.  Second, it provides an fun and safe opportunity for kids and adults to receive physical activity daily.  Third, from my own experience, the rush you get while heel skating at a few miles per hour is priceless.

My experiences and education allow me to effectively promote healthy lifestyles for kids and adults alike.  I love what I do, when people listen.  Aaron Johnson Fit Club blog will represent health and fitness through the eyes of an athlete and educator.

I would like to connect with other health and fitness educators.  If interested, shoot me a comment, or email me at Aaron@LASkateBuds.com.

Thank you and have a productive day.
