Presidential Fitness Test: Promise vs. Reality
The executive order "reinstating the President's Council Fitness Test" sounds great on paper - framing health as national security. It feels like "giving kids a Spanish test without Spanish class" - where's the underlying PE program funding?

Looking for a new program? Family workouts! Mom, Dad, and the kids will all get a functional, productive workout while enjoying each other’s company. There is not better way to introduce exercise to a child than for them to experience it with their parents.

Does America need to prepare our kids to be future warriors, what could the military do? Giving $5,000 to every elementary school PE program per year would cost the Defense Department less than 0.04% of its annual budget. The U.S. Military cold be the champion of youth exercise in America!

Financial Impact of funding for Physical Education in American Schools, studies indicate:
Every $1 invested in school-based physical activity can yield up to $2–$4 in healthcare savings over time due to reduced chronic disease risk.

Even preschoolers love the Railyard, where they develop balance and coordination vital to their growth. Research has shown that a sense of self and improved gross motor skills can enhance learning. There is no better way to introduce exercise to a child. Do you agree? @shapeamerica.bsky.social

The "United States Government" did not do that! People in the "Government" did. It's time to stop blaming the "Government" for doing things that people in the "Government" are doing. I think blaming the "Government" only gives those who are looking for someone to blame.

How do you include "new" and "challenging" into workouts? Elevate the activity up and onto the Railyard to engage and increase demand for balance, coordination, and neural/muscular challenge- AND IT'S FUN! It's the original exercise-climbing, crawling, jumping, and ducking. @WomensHealthMag

How do youngsters learn to move? Traditionally, it's through play, climbing, crawling, jumping in nature - when nature is not convenient or accessible, the Railyard Portable Obstacle Course is a wonderful substitute. Let the children in your facility learn to move; it's necessary for them and us!

Exercise in schools raises test scores, decreases disciplinary issues, and builds self-confidence and esteem (lowers mental health issues). America gives lots of talk to kids' mental and physical health, and does nearly nothing to address it. Support physed in schools! @shapeamerica.bsky.social

Kids love obstacle courses because they tap into their natural sense of adventure and play. Crawling under logs, jumping over barriers, and climbing rocks all feel like an exciting challenge rather than just “exercise.” and all these movements are replicated on the Railyard!
