During the CircusFit program at C’mon, Ringling Bros.’ Ambassadors of Laughter Dave and Cherie Gregg will teach attendees the fundamentals of fitness through age-appropriate activities that incorporate basic circus skills and lessons covering topics such as proper nutrition, hydration, stretching, and exercise. CircusFit is a kick-off event for the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® FULLY CHARGED, Gold Edition which comes to Germain Arena Jan. 3-6. “For 143 years, families and kids of all ages have been coming to The Greatest Show On Earth to witness some of the world’s greatest athletes perform acts of incredible skill,” said Kenneth Feld, chairman and producer of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey. “Our inspiring Ringling Bros. performers are in peak physical condition and perfect role models to encourage and teach America’s youth fun-filled ways to stay fit and active.” Ringling Bros. has joined forces with the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sport to promote CircusFit and physical activity across America. Schools and after-school programs throughout the country participate in CircusFit as part of their involvement in the annual President’s Challenge. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the percentage of children and adolescents who are defined as overweight has more than doubled in the past two decades. As this trend continues, overweight children are more likely to develop weight-related illnesses in adulthood, including diabetes and heart disease. The Ringling Bros. CircusFit program is a step closer to reversing the trend and getting children interested in exercise, healthy living and daily activity. For more information on CircusFit visit www.CircusFit.com.
