ElectriKids is committed to reversing this trend! ElectriKids proudly presents... The Muscle Mania Tour
 
 
 
   

Hi Parents! By logging on to the ElectriKids site you are demonstrating your interest and concern for your child’s health and fitness. That makes you a cool parent in my book! I hope to bring the Muscle Mania Tour to your child’s school soon, but in the meantime, take advantage of our free ElectriKids downloads. You can also direct your little ones to the kids’ section of the ElectriKids site. There they’ll find fun fitness-related games and quizzes. Remember, I can show kids how fun it is to be active in my special way (jumping up and down, ranting and raving like an overgrown cheerleader,) but when it comes down to it- you’re the real role model!
