Fitman offers schools a fun, educational and motivational program designed to inspire children (along with their parents and siblings) to get outside, get active and participate in life!
The statistics are alarming: Childhood obesity in Australia is increasing at an alarming rate and has greatly increased in the past few years. In 2007-08, 1/4 of all children aged between 5-17 were overweight or obese… between 1985 and 1997, the obesity level in the population doubled, and being overweight increased 60-70%.
Once children become obese, they are more likely to stay obese into adulthood and have increased risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Fitman’s mission is to empower children to be active, healthier and fitter!
