The KIDFITSTRONG Fitness Challenge Detroit will be held from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., May 23, at locations around the city. This is the nation’s largest mobile fitness event dedicated to keeping kids active and healthy in a completion-based obstacle course, designed to challenge speed, strength, agility and overall physical fitness. The event features a variety of activities for the whole family to enjoy, including active gaming fun for all ages and onsite programming designed to inspire kids and families to live a more active and healthy lifestyle.

            Physical activity helps kids control weight, lower blood pressure, raise good HDL cholesterol and reduce the risk of diabetes, as well as some kinds of cancer. Spending time outside raises levels of vitamin D and strengthens children’s bone mass.
