Fitness Forward Foundation

We visit terrible hotel gyms, so you don't have to. We talk travel fitness Integrating scientifically grounded evidence, web-based technologies, and targeted social marketing, we aim to reverse the dangerous rise in childhood obesity, diabetes, and mental illness. We envision a day when all children, regardless of background or circumstance, will grow up with the knowledge, motivation, and tools to live healthier, happier lives.Many of the leading causes of death in the United States and abroad, such as heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, and suicide, are largely preventable. Lack of physical activity, poor nutrition, inadequate sleep, and mismanaged stress are intricately tied to poor health outcomes and quality of life. At a time when childhood obesity, diabetes, and mental illness continue to impact millions of children, the need to facilitate healthier lifestyles among youth is profound.Extensive research demonstrates that healthy habits, particularly those learned in childhood, can prevent unnecessary illness, improve quality of life, and have a significant impact on other areas such as academic achievement and modifying high-risk behaviors. However, social inequities block many children and parents from access to the opportunities, knowledge, and resources that can help them live healthier, happier lives.
