The staff of "Cooking With Cutty" in partnership with West Hawaii Community Health Center (WHCHC) are initiating Cutty's Keiki Fitness Challenge. This event is a three month health promotion for Keiki 8-16 years of age and their families. Our purpose is to motivate children to make healthy lifestyle choices by promoting physical activity, healthy eating habits, and feeling good about who they are. In addition, our project will also encourage parents to engage with their children and become good role models by increasing their own level of physical activity and making healthier lifestyle choices concerning diet and nutrition.
We expect to register 750 Keiki and their families statewide who will accept the three month challenge. All participants will register through their local community health center or satellite sites. They will need a basic health check up pre- and post-Challenge using key health indicators such as height, weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), Body Fat % Index, past medical history, and current medications. Cholesterol and blood glucose testing are optional. Activity fitness will also be evaluated. Exercises such as sit ups, push-ups, jumping rope, and vertical jump will also be tracked for overall fitness improvement.
