The Brain Muscle Workout Launches A New Exercise Program in Schools to Fight Child Obesity and Improve Children’s Motor Skills,which are Associated to a Higher Academic Achievement

New York, NY (PRWEB) February 20, 2008

The Brain Muscle Workout launches a New Exercise Program in Schools to fight child obesity and to improve children’s motor skills, which are associated to a higher academic achievement”:

Michael Gonzalez-Wallace’s innovative fitness program “The Brain Muscle Workout” incorporates intense brain activity through movements requiring balance and coordination to improve concentration or attention while performing hundreds of challenging exercises. The exercises are structured to advance gradually.

The Brain Muscle Workout — School program

The individualized program for schools will include a personalized program consisting of over 300 different exercises structured in 9 different stages throughout the school year. It can benefit kids 5 years or older. By continuously teasing the body with balance and coordination challenges, the program simultaneously stimulates the brain, muscles and nervous system. The program is currently being reviewed and endorsed by Child Psychiatrist, MD Dr Gregory Lombardo.

According to Dr Lombardo, who is board certified in adult, child and adolescent psychiatry and is a diplomat of the American Society of Clinical Psychopharmacology “Gonzalez Wallace’s brain muscle workout program may produce children’s benefits in three major areas: motor skills, Psychiatric Benefits, Academic Function and Cardiovascular benefits”.

Schools tend to reduce hours dedicated to physical exercise. Consequences:

The increase of diabetes type 2 in children is correlated to a progressive reduction in the number of hours dedicated to physical exercises in schools.

Therefore, Just like there are specific programs and curricula for math and science we must implement specific programs and curricula for Physical Education. Simply having students play soccer or run around the field has been shown to be ineffective in fighting this current health crisis. The program needs to benefit students individually.

The process of performing specific exercises such as raising arms and heels simultaneously will require over 30 muscles to be involved with the movement leading to a gradual increase of the cardiovascular system. Studies have shown that aerobic exercise is beneficial with children in the pre-diabetes stage
