A Broward School Welcomes Fit For Life

Here at Body and Soul Youth Development Center we help lead every child to a successful life by embracing their individuality and providing them with practical resources. Our mission is to provide an alternative and personalized approach to help young people heal, grow, and develop the critical skills needed to build a better future for themselves through programs they may not normally have access to. We work to foster a community for our youth and give them the space for self-exploration and expression. By leading with empathy, we help our youth discover their strengths and passions.  We accomplish this through the several personalized programs we offer.

 One of those programs is called “Fit for Life.” This program is centered around health, fitness, and movement to ultimately achieve a stronger body and mind connection. This improves focus and decreases stress, anxiety, and depression.  This program offers nutrition counseling, yoga/meditation, personal training, martial arts, monthly fitness challenges, and weekly sports and fitness activities. We accomplish this mission at a middle school in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. They have joined the fit for life program with us.

Once a week, we join their student’s PE program, both virtual and in person, and lead boot camp style workouts. Engaging in consistent physical activities boosts energy levels, focus and improves the immune system. Physical activity is an effective way to deal with stress, depression and general mental health. Our goal with this program is to get you up and moving, unconsciously improving your mental and physical health all while having a blast with your friends. During a bootcamp program one kid started to poke fun at the program, challenged YDC’s Owner, MsIna to a plank challenge. The young girl Won. Then, was thrilled about this program. We’ll have to see who wins next time!
