Group tries to get kids moving in parks with new program
Youngsters are working up a sweat in Brooklyn.
Get Up & Go, a new fitness program for children from the City Parks Foundation, kicked off in Brooklyn parks Monday, July 13 to push kids who don’t have summer plans to exercise in fun and competitive ways.
Licensed physical education teachers lead the free programs throughout the city so children ages six to 10 develop central exercise skills, compete in contests and advance their fitness levels.
