According to the pediatric endocrinologist of the regional hospital 23, in Yalutorovsk, weight pathology is observed in 11 percent of children. The number of such guys is increasing every year. The reasons, as in the rest of the world, are the same: lack of movement, unhealthy diet, diseases of the endocrine system. In addition, as the Yalutorov doctors noticed, during the months of forced self-isolation and distance learning, adolescents gained on average up to 5 extra pounds.
The specialists decided to provide all kinds of support to girls from 14 to 17 years old, so that they successfully cope with their problem and maintain faith in themselves. Schoolgirls will do fitness in a closed group for four months three times a week. In addition, the girls are waiting for an appointment with an endocrinologist, specialists in healthy lifestyles and proper nutrition, psychologists. The organizers of the project are convinced that girls will acquire good habits that will remain in the baggage of their victories for the rest of their lives.
At the first event, the participants got to know each other better, worked in teams, discussed the goals and expectations of the project, received food diaries and recommendations for filling them out. The girls had a coffee break in the "healthy food" format.
The Silver Fitness project of a non-profit organization for social support, development and health promotion, Pier of Good Deeds, is aimed at working with citizens over 50 years old. Since September, specialists have been creating conditions for citizens of the older generation to engage in regular physical activity, taking into account age characteristics.
For participants under 60, strength training, aerobics and zumba are in demand, which allow you to quickly relieve tension and recharge with positive emotions. In the older age group, pensioners are engaged in joint gymnastics, stretching, and breathing exercises.
The organizers have no doubts that the project is relevant. More than 10 thousand pensioners and about 500 citizens of pre-retirement age live in Yalutorovsk, which makes up almost a quarter of the city's population. Introducing regular exercise habits is effective in maintaining active longevity.
