Kids Are Moving Less: Here’s How We Can Help Them Thrive 🚀🏃🏽‍♂️💨

Have you noticed your child spending more time on screens and less time playing outside? You’re not alone and the doctors are noticing too.

A new report from the American Medical Association shows that childhood obesity is on the rise, and one of the biggest reasons is simple: kids aren’t moving enough and their diets have changed drastically over the last decade.

Between busy schedules, screens everywhere, and fewer safe places to play, it’s no wonder today’s children are less active than we were growing up. But here’s the good news: it’s never too early or too late to help your child build healthy habits they’ll carry for life.

Why Movement Matters More Than Ever

Doctors are sounding the alarm: more kids are developing serious health problems like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep issues, all tied to being overweight.

But physical activity doesn’t just help the body, it helps the brain and heart too. Active kids tend to:

✅ Sleep better

✅ Focus more in school

✅ Have fewer anxiety and mood issues

✅ Build stronger self-esteem

That’s Where Little & Junior TrackStars Comes In 🌟

At Little & Junior TrackStars, we help kids ages 2–12 fall in love with movement, in a way that feels more like play than pressure.

Here’s how we do it:

🏃‍♂️ Fun-Focused Fitness

We don’t run laps. We race like cheetahs. We hop like kangaroos. We high-five like champs. Kids get their heart rates up in exciting, age-appropriate activities designed to make them feel proud and powerful.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family-Friendly Scheduling

We know life is busy. That’s why our classes are short, local, and easy to fit into your week. Many families treat TrackStars as their weekly “healthy habit” time, no gym memberships or equipment needed.

🤸‍♀️ Confidence Boosting

TrackStars isn’t about being the fastest. It’s about setting small goals, making friends, and building confidence with every step. Our coaches cheer for every kid, especially the shy ones who need that extra nudge.

You’re Not Alone, We’re In This Together

It’s hard to fight against screens, snacks, and sedentary routines but parents don’t have to do it alone. Programs like TrackStars give families a way to build healthy routines together, without the battles or guilt.

The AMA and pediatricians nationwide are urging families to find ways to get kids moving every day. TrackStars helps make that goal easier, more fun, and something your child actually looks forward to.
