The Benefits - Parent & Child Exercise

As the producers of an elite fitness training system, our VertiMax team certainly has a vested interest in the ambitions and performance of athletes, but our passion doesn’t end there. As we’ve noted in previous blogs, and elsewhere on our website, we’re pleased that the VertiMax is a particularly invaluable tool in the development of youth athletes. What’s more? Because of its set-up and flexibility, it introduces an altogether new benefit - allowing parents and children to exercise together.

With more than 30 percent of the population being classified as obese, and statistics indicating that childhood obesity data are even worse than that, it’s evident that a healthy lifestyle is lacking for many - and it’s creating a whole new wave of health problems for our population. But a simple change can put you - and your family - on a much better path.

In an article for Faith and Fitness Magazine, Dr. Ron Eaker, M.D. OB-GYN, author of Fat-Proof Your Family, says that, “exercising with children reprograms kids to understand what is normal and what is not. Kids today believe that a sedentary lifestyle is normal. Studies show that most kids spend an average of 6 hours after school doing sedentary things like TV, computers, and video games. The have a skewed perception of ‘normal.’

Indeed, defining normal shouldn’t be left for external forces to decide. In your life, and that of your family, defining a healthy standard of ‘normal’ at an early age can have a lifelong impact on the emotional and physical well-being of your children - and you, too.

With multiple bands and functional flexibility, the VertiMax not only adds a new layer of fun to activity for individuals of all ages, but it allows families to do it together.

What’s better? The VertiMax system doesn’t put children at developmental risk - bone and joint injuries - the way that resistance training does, but it provides a tremendous boost in athletic performance nevertheless. Not to mention that it’s fun beyond compare.
