The Chatty Gourmet

The other day Jenn and I went to go visit a gym in Anaheim called Bogifit, a gym that caters to youth only. It was a beautiful facility that contained child and regular sized workout equipment. As we were walking through the tour I couldn't help but get excited myself, everything looked so fun and I could only imagine how a child would feel being able to let loose in there. The truth is, kids need a place to go and call there own, somewhere where they don't feel threated or embarrassed to use the equipment freely and really get a good workout in. With childhood obesity at it's highest I think it is so imporant to give kids a place to go and get active. I never really stopped to think about it and I was definitely one of those people in the gym who looked at a child using a treadmill or bike and thought "this is not a playground, why is this little kid in here"! They were probably so uncomfortable and it probably took a lot of guts to use the equipment in front of a bunch of adults who they knew just thought they were playing around. It's funny I have worked with Childhood Obesity in the past and I never thought of giving kids their very own gym, it's a great idea and I really hope that we see more facilties like this all over the nation.
