The commercial takes a controversial view on the subject of parents who continue to feed their children junk food regardless of the damaging effects it is known to cause them.

Lunch Box

JnrGym kids need to eat healthy at home and away from home especially at SCHOOL. 

Fact: During a regular schooling week a child will eat 10 meals at school ( morning tea + Lunch) compared with 11 meals at home.

So parents when packing your child's lunch box are asking yourself:

is it healthy?

will they eat it?

is the same packed lunch?

Gone are the days where parents are packing sandwich, bag of chips, lollies and juice box. Lunches need to be creative, inventive and yet practical for parents to prepare and pack.

Lunch Box Check-list:

fruit

offer variety of breads other than white bread

reduced fat diary goods- fresh yoghurt and cheese

serving of protein: meat, egg, tuna, chickpea

Water or fresh juice

Biggest loser challenge at home!

Studies have shown that working on a task together can be more beneficial and effective in reaching a common goal. As we all know doing something on your own can be very challenging, leading to lack of motivation and a sense of failure. So why not lose weight together? Keep each other motivated? And together you can reap the rewards of your hard work.

So parents/guardians/ siblings what will you be doing while your child/ sibling is active at Jnr Gym?

As we have already mentioned children are like sponges and setting a good example for them can help provide with better lifestyle habits.

Here’s the challenge….           

So while your child/ sibling try losing weight at Jnr Gym why don’t you do the same!

Be competitive about the amount of weight loss. Without you even knowing your child that attends Jnr Gym will have greater incentive to beat you.  

WIN WIN situation really….

You get you child more motivated to attend Jnr Gym and be active while you get fitter and healthier too.

Here’s the game plan of ways to get fit:

1.       Attend the gym the same time as Jnr Gym

2.       Come 15min before Jnr Gym finishes and go for a walk or jog around the block while you wait for your child.

3.       If you live close to the gym already, choose to walk to the gym instead of driving to pick up you children.

4.       Saturday can be a family bike ride to a finish point with a reward e.g. ice-cream shop

5.       Sunday can be family challenge day! If you have a big enough family a little basketball game or soccer game at the local park.

A collective family effort to lose weight will bring out the competitiveness in everyone.

 The family member that loses the most weight at the end of the month can be rewarded I.e. a bonus on their weekly allowance, or choice of where the next family outing can be.

So have a 30 day biggest loser challenge starting today!

We would love to hear your progress and results.
