Strehle 4-H Members learn to "Get Fit"

Childhood obesity rates in the United States have grown tremendously. Strehle 4-H members learned the importance of getting fit by practicing three types of exercise: aerobic, anaerobic, and flexability.  4-H Agent Chantel J. Williams demonstrated how to get in shape and stay in shape without having to go to the gym.  4-H memebers learned how to use a resistance band, free weights, and stretching techniques.
