Page 5 Bay-O-Vista Personal Trainer Bob Zunino www.TrainerBob.com 510.530.3748 Helping Kids Eat Healthfully Childhood is the time when kids establish eating patterns that can last a lifetime. Teach your children how to make informed nutritious food choices with these suggestions from Jennie McCary, MS, RD, LD, community nutritionist for the Albuquerque Public Schools and chair of the New Mexico Action for Healthy Kids. Kids Need 5 A Day Help children get at least five servings of fruits and vegetables each day with these strategies. • Keep fruits and veggies readily available where kids can see them (e.g., on the counter or table) and leave washed, cut, ready-to-eat produce on the top shelf in the fridge. • Involve kids in meal planning and preparation. Let younger children wash spinach, tear up lettuce or peel carrots. Teach older kids how to use a knife safely by cutting veggies to toss into a stir-fry. • Make fruit beverages. Fruit smoothies are popular with kids and when made with yogurt or milk can also be a great way to add more calcium. • Freeze fruits. Frozen grapes and melon are a fun, refreshing treat for kids, especially on hot summer days. • Play hide-and-seek with fruits and veggies. Blend cooked cauliflower or sweet potatoes into traditional mashed potatoes, or shred carrots and zucchini into spaghetti sauce. • Start a small garden. Most kids will eat vegetables they helped grow. The Importance of Breakfast A basic breakfast should be a balance of carbo-hydrate, protein and fat from two to three food groups: for example, try serving a whole grain, low-fat milk and fruit. But don’t get overwhelmed by the task of making a traditional breakfast. Leftovers or grab-and-go items, such as squeezable yogurt and a granola bar, work as well as more conventional fare. Foods that can be eaten on the go include a mini bagel with cream cheese; a peanut butter and jelly sandwich; or a piece of fruit and a bag of dry, unsweetened cereal. Get kids to buy into breakfast by involving them in the planning and preparation. For young kids, this can be as simple as having them set the table or pour the cereal or milk. Empower your children by letting them decide what to eat, but give them a choice between two nutritious foods. Feeding Overweight Kids If your child is overweight, what can you do? Diets are not recommended for growing kids and teens. Instead of weight loss, emphasize positive eating and physical activity changes. Try these suggestions: • Eat dinner together as a family so you can monitor what your kids are eating daily. • Sit down at the table, where you can teach kids how to eat more slowly, pay attention to their hunger and avoid the mindless eating that may occur when watching television. • Involve kids in planning menus, shopping for food and preparing meals. • Make high-fiber fruits and vegetables a part of every meal. • Focus on offering lower-calorie, nutrient-rich meals and snacks without severely restricting food intake. • Buy healthier foods and keep them easily accessible in the fridge and cupboards and on the counter. Keep sweets, chips and soda out of sight or out of the house. • Limit sweetened beverages, including soda and fruit drinks, to an occasional treat. • Reduce television watching and computer/video time to less than 2 hours a day. • Promote physical activity as a family by taking walks, playing outdoor games and riding bikes together. quick & healthy after-school snacks Nutritious snacking is an important part of every kid’s diet. Here are some winning combos to try: • peanut butter and jelly sandwich topped with sliced bananas or apples • carrot and cucumber sticks drizzled with low-fat dressing • apple slices dipped in peanut butter • grapes and pear slices with cheese cubes • fruit skewers dipped in yogurt • whole-grain crackers with low-fat cheese slices • pita bread with hummus • air-popped popcorn • yogurt with granola and banana slices • homemade trail mix (raisins, peanuts, whole-grain cereal) • bean burrito Page 6 We experienced an unusually warm and dry beginning to the New Year 2015. So as Fitness Director I encourage you all to keep doing those rain dances in hopes of easing the drought. We are very fortunate to live in a climate where it’s so easy to get outdoors and exercise. We have also enjoyed very busy classes in the fitness pavilion and we are thrilled to have brand new flooring! The floor makes the pavilion brighter and creates a spacious feeling which is wonderful. If you haven’t had a chance to peek in the door, please drop by for a visit! This winter we added two new Bootcamp classes to jumpstart your New Year! Many members requested these classes since they were so popular last summer. It is not too late to participate in these classes geared toward the 9-5 working folks. Bootcamp is now offered on Mondays@ 7:15pm as well as Thursdays@6am. We will continue to offer these classes as long as they are well-attended. I am excited to announce that we will be offering another new class beginning midMarch called “Stay Strong!” This class is intended to be a stepping stone from our Back Care class to Gentle Fit. Back Care participants have been interested in adding Club Directory a third class to their weekly routine, and this class will move slightly quicker than the 510.357.8366 therapeutic pace of our Back Care class. Stay Strong will include simple low-tempo www.bovswim.com cardio to build bone density as well as light weights to enhance upper body strength. Our focus is to keep moving and keep our independence! If you have any questions about this new class, contact me (Dallis) via my club email or voicemail. “Stay Front Desk...…….…Ext. 0 Strong” will be offered on Wednesdays at 1:00pm beginning March 18, 2015. Current fitness trends (according to ASCM) still include body-weight training, highintensity interval training (HIIT), personal and small group training, yoga, functional fitness training and programs geared towards the baby boomers and kids’ fitness. The bottom line is that there are classes for absolutely everyone! Dance classes such as Zumba are now perfect with our new flooring and so much fun if you like world music or latin beats. We have a dedicated “Walk Fit” group who likes to walk at Lake Chabot every Wednesday@9am with Kathy. We also offer a therapeutic class called “Roll and Release” every Tuesday @ noon for those interested in addressing “stuck stress” in the body, easing sore muscles and hydrating the fascia. As a side-note, due to Jodie’s busy schedule, we have a change of teachers on Sundays. Cynthia will teach the 9am Cycle class and Megan will be our interim Yoga teacher at 4:15pm until further notice. Yoga teacher Marlene Schoefer-Wulf has taken a leave of absence to study in India. We will miss her, and will be finding a replacement for the 7:45am Sunday class. Our last Kidfit session of the school year entitled “Spring Kidfit” will commence registration on Monday, March 16th@6pm at the front office. This ten-week session will begin the week of April 6th and end the week of June 8th, 2015. We need to remind all members that parents/legal guardians must stay on the premises of BOV during Kidfit class time (45 minutes). Under no circumstances is it acceptable to drop off your child and return to pick them up later. Parents are encouraged to workout or do any other activity on-site as long as you can be reached. Since this is a free program and the ratio for student to teacher is 12:1, we rely on your cooperation. Thank you in advance for adhering to the B.O.V. Kidfit rules.
