Why Gymnastics and Fitness is Important:

- Today's children are considered the most inactive generation.

- Inactivity and poor dietary habits have contributed to this generation's lack of fitness which has been identified as one of the leading causes of health problems.

- Statistics indicate that one in three kids are overweight or obese today, a percentage that has more than doubled in the last 30 years.

- Kids receive the benefits of cardiovascular exercise, balance, strength and flexibility through participation in fun activities and skills such as gymnastics.

- The basics of gymnastics provide a solid foundation for becoming physically fit and preparing to participate in other activities and sports.

National Gymnastics Day encourages physical fitness through fun contests with an emphasis on strength training, cardiovascular exercise and flexibility.
