Fitness 4 All
Fitness 4 All is a 10-week, progressive marathon training program incorporating running/walking, yoga, and strength training for elementary-school aged children (4th – 5th grades) from lower-income families living in downtown Long Beach, CA. The program has the children participating in a progressive marathon completing 26.2 miles (running or walking) over the course of 10 weeks. While the presenting goal is the completion of the progressive marathon, the training program offers much more to the participants and their families.
