🛑 The Hidden Dangers of Inactivity: Why Our Children Need to Move More 🛑

In today's digital age, children are spending more time sitting and less time moving. 📱💻 This lack of activity can lead to serious health issues, from poor posture and weak muscles to a higher risk of obesity and mental health challenges. 😔

5 Ways Inactivity Directly Affects Our Children:

🚶‍♂️ Physical Health: Increased risk of obesity, weak muscles, and poor bone density.
🧠 Mental Health: Higher chances of anxiety, depression, and lower self-esteem.
🏃‍♂️ Motor Skills: Delayed development of fundamental movement skills and coordination.
📉 Academic Performance: Reduced concentration, memory retention, and overall cognitive function.
🛌 Sleep Quality: Poorer sleep patterns, leading to fatigue and difficulty focusing.

But there’s good news! 💪 Keeping our children active isn’t just about sports—it’s about promoting lifelong habits of movement, play, and physical health. Whether it's through running, jumping, or just playing outside, movement is medicine for their growing bodies and minds. 🏃‍♂️🌳

This winter, our programs are focused on developing fundamental movement skills, core strength, and cardio health to help keep kids moving, learning, and having fun—all while building the foundations for a healthy, active lifestyle. 🏋️‍♂️

Let’s work together to combat inactivity and prioritize our children's health! Get in touch today to find out more about our programs and how we can help. 💬

Only a couple of places remain in our 11.45am class this coming Sunday 💚👫

Making Friends & keeping Fit 😁

James shows us all that Anything is Possible 💚

If ever I have been in awe of someone's 'can-do' attitude, it's James' 💪💪

James has been attending RINKA class with Eibhlin since 2022 and for a little boy who's parents were told 'that he would most likely not survive the pregnancy, but IF he did he would “never sit up or have any quality of life” it's beyond impressive to see him at RINKA 💚
James was born with a very rare condition called Caudal Regression Syndrome and he is missing his spine from T10 level as well as most of his pelvic structure.
James' mum, Joanne, told us that when ne was born his legs were in a fixed position meaning he couldn’t straighten them and sat in a buddha position.

He started to move using his arms…pulling himself commando style…when he was just 10 months old!!

When he was 5 years old, doctors decided that amputation of his legs would give him more freedom as when trying to move he was constantly dragging his feet and leg, like dead weight. The position of his legs also meant that any wheelchair was extra wide meaning that he couldn’t push independently. 😐

As with everything he took the surgery in his stride and was home just 3 days after having both legs amputated at the knees, and 2 days later wanting to bounce on a trampoline! ⭐️

And he hasn't stopped since 😅

He has an amazing attitude and a positive outlook on everything. He never refuses to try something and if it doesn’t work out he just moves on to the next challenge.
James has tried different sports, including wheelchair sports, but he prefers to be out of the chair with everyone else 🥰 He has excelled at gymnastics, as well as swimming and now RINKA classes. He enjoys life despite his challenges and has such a happy, carefree personality 😎

✨✨The word “can’t” does not exist is James’ vocabulary! ✨✨

Coach Eibhlin says James has a fantastic personality and is always joking and up for fun 🤣

He is always in great humour and keeps the other kids laughing especially when giving Eibhlin a hard time about her singing - apparently she is no Taylor Swift according to James 🤣🤣

James, thank you for inspiring so many of us. Your story reminds people that anything is possible. We're honoured to know you 💚
