Exercise helps kids with executive functions like sequencing, memory, and prioritising which contribute to necessary skills for success in school and life. Put simply, physical activity primes the brain for learning.

Our program can help kids and teens well after the exercise stops, getting the brain active ready for school, or study!

We deliver Fitter Futures group sessions at schools.  Sessions can be run on school grounds before or after school, and as part of vacation care programs.

“In-School” programs are also available, where Fitter Futures delivers the program to multiple groups or classes during the school day.

Benefits:

All children and young people need to be physically active; and physically active children and young people are more likely to become physically active adults.

Regular physical activity enhances students’ ability to learn and supports student health and wellbeing.

Exercise helps kids with executive functions like sequencing, memory and prioritising which contribute to necessary skills for success in school and life. Put simply, physical activity before school primes the brain for learning.

Research shows compelling evidence for the positive correlation between movement and exercise, and improved focus, concentration and academic performance.

Fitter Futures offers a program that can be co-developed with the school, offered weekly, fortnightly or monthly. The workshops include a physical component to encourage exercise, activity and movement. And a learning component discussing topics that are relevant to the Tween or Teen age groups to help build confidence, a growth mindset, positive body image and to empower kids with knowledge about how to look after their bodies (e.g. through good nutrition and healthy habits).
