Spring Pilot Program
The nutrition and wellness plans were a coordinated effort of development to attempt to give the kids important information in short period of time that they could retain and build on as the program developed. Lessons provided a general knowledge of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, the importance of healthy balanced eating and portion control.

Partnership for the Future
Youth in Motion in partnership with CrossFit Kids enrolled fourteen fifth grade students in a ten week fitness and nutrition program. The fitness portion of the program was conducted by CrossFit Kids. CrossFit Kids is the principal strength and conditioning program for many young athletes and the primary PE program for many home and charter schools. CrossFit Kids delivers a fitness that is by design, broad, general, and inclusive. Healthy living requires that our kids push, pull, run, throw, climb, lift, jump, effectively and safely regardless of whether or not they play athletics. The CrossFit Kids program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any individual regardless of experience.
