Education..

Education was one of the best ways to improve mankind.

‘Give a starving man food today and he will be hungry tomorrow. Teach him to fish, and he will learn to feed himself’.

Want your child to grow up smart, happy, and healthy? She'll be off to a good start when each day begins with a healthy breakfast. Here are a few reasons to sit down to a family breakfast every morning.
  • Breakfast is food for thought. Brains run on glucose, which comes from food. After a long slumber, glucose is in short supply, and your body needs a refill. Kids who eat breakfast have longer attention spans and better school performance than kids who skip the meal.
  • Breakfast is food for (good) mood. Eating a nutritious breakfast promotes balanced blood sugar levels, warding off crankiness.
  • Breakfast is food for fitness. People who eat breakfast are more likely to maintain a healthy weight. Your child will have more energy to spend for physical activities, promoting a healthy body. And starting the breakfast habit early will help your child maintain the habit for years to come.
Just any old breakfast won't do. Try whole grains, fresh fruit, lean proteins, and low-fat dairy products. Avoid those highly processed "breakfast bars". If you're in a rush, opt for fresh fruit and whole-grain toast instead.

Circuit Training

WThis class takes the participant through a series of exercise stations (which could also include strength training), with relatively brief rest intervals between each station. The purpose is to keep the heart rate elevated near the aerobic level without dropping off.

What are the benefits? Circuit training is a complete workout--both cardio and strength training--which saves time. Since the program is fast-paced and offers variety, it can be more interesting than a typical class that focuses on only one aspect (cardio or strength). Exercisers of all fitness levels can enjoy this class, because you can work at your own pace and resistance level.


#We recommend a low impact exercise for all warm-ups
– bike, elliptical machine,rowing,machine,walk (gradually picking up the pace to a fast walk).
#Upper and lower body exercises perform 10-15 reps
– Core exercises perform 10-30 reps.
