Kids will also enjoy the "movement room" where a DJ and fitness instructors will get their hearts pumping as they move through a variety of fun, activity stations.  While the kids are exercising, parents can attend workshops to gather important health and nutritional information geared at preventing hypertension and diabetes in children.
