How to Get (and Keep) Kids Moving: The Secret to Lifelong Fitness

Justin Waring Season 2 Episode 15

In this episode of The EFM Health Club Podcast, we dive into one of the most important topics for every parent, coach, and educator: how to inspire children to get active—and stay active for life. With childhood inactivity on the rise, we explore what actually works to engage kids in exercise, how to make movement fun, and why the way we introduce fitness early on can shape lifelong habits.

We discuss:
 ✅ The right age to start resistance training (and bust some old myths)
 ✅ How to balance fun, competition, and skill-building in a gym setting
 ✅ Creative, out-of-the-box ways to get kids moving without turning it into a chore
 ✅ How to help children build confidence, resilience, and joy through movement

Whether you're a parent, teacher, or just someone who cares about the next generation's health, this episode is packed with practical tips and fresh ideas to help kids fall in love with exercise—and keep coming back for more.
