At The Talcott Center for Child Development, we take fitness seriously!  We understand the urgency of developing a healthy lifestyle within the early years of childhood.  Our goal is to provide children of all abilities the opportunity to participate in motivating activities designed to improve: cardio respiratory endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, Relaxation & Breathing techniques
 
These activities not only promote and encourage physical well-being, but also emotional well-being.  Through the acquisition of a fun fitness program, in combination with healthy eating and sleeping habits, children can build the foundation for a strong future.
 
Packed with punch!  Taking a fun look at fitness, Mighty & Mini Muscles focus on strengthening the heart, the body, and the mind.  Each class offers a new experience as we jump, pump, lift, and kick our way to stronger, healthier bodies.  Through the use of a variety of exercise equipment, such as stability balls, steps, and body bars, your child will develop both strength and endurance.   Exercise is a vital component of a healthy lifestyle.  Promoting a fun fitness program during the early stages of development encourages years of continued participation.
