Fitforafeast Inspiring Kids Around the World to get Active and Healthy
The Fit For a Feast website and Youtube channel have been helping kids get fit and active for just over 2 years, and has now reached over 18 million views. The ‘kids helping kids’ theme has struck a chord with children around the world. Hosts, Katrina (12) and Sloane (13) have made over 200 videos on dance, fitness, gymnastics, cooking, sports and more.
The fan base for Fit for a Feast currently spans around the globe, with fans from Australia to Argentina, Singapore to Spain. Their Youtube channel receives more than 1,500 comments and messages each week from devoted fans or kids with questions.
The idea, born in grade 5 health class, was to inspire other kids to eat better and get fit - in hopes to slow or reverse the escalating childhood obesity epidemic. Katrina and Sloane wanted to show other kids that ‘fit is fab’ by demonstrating ways to have fun that also improve fitness. Their videos range from tutorials on how to do the splits to easy cooking recipes which kids can make.
Community support has been outstanding, with many ‘guest’ appearances on the show from nutritionists, cooks, dance teachers, gym coaches, sports trainers and more. The response has been overwhelming, and the girls plan to continue making videos – many of which are requests from fans.
The videos and website are completely free in an effort to bring fitness instruction to anyone who is interested – even if they can’t afford traditional classes or organized sports. For many fans, dance and gymnastics classes are not available where they live.
“We have received so many messages from kids that say they have joined or rejoined activities because they were inspired by what we do. We never thought 2 kids could make such an impact, but now we are motivated to do even more.”
Fit for a Feast has been featured in newspapers and magazines including Macleans, the Toronto Star, Toronto Sun, Global TV, City TV, the Canadian Press and Post City Magazine. The girls hope to reach as many kids as possible to inspire them to get outside, be active and eat right.
