"Project LEAP!" Works to Keep Kids Moving

Updated:

The Lambeau Field atrium has turned into this giant jungle gym. The point is that every movement of a child's arm or leg will help keep their minds and bodies active.

12-year-old Nathan Zold does some weight lifting at home, but the activities here offer a full-body workout.

"This workout is kind of better, I like it. Why? Cause you get to run around and you get to push through all the stuff over there and it's really good for your legs," Zold said.

The Zold children admit they spend up to two hours a day playing video games sometimes, which is not as long as others their age, but it's becoming an increasing problem.

"I think that we don't get enough exercise, I think that people should try harder to start getting active and running outside and stuff," Galvin Zold said.

Parents to three young children, Juan and Sharon Salinas, agree.

"A lot of them are starting to get overweight, so we try to keep our kids active as much as possible," Sharon Salinas said.

Juan's decision to come today was based on wanting to provide something for his children that he never had growing up.

"There wasn't really much back then, about the only thing I used to do was go outside, but nowadays they don't do that, you can play video games, or stay inside, so it's good to get them out," Juan Salinas said.
