The Geyer Family YMCA encourages students to do a variety of physical activities daily to work on three important elements: endurance, strength and flexibility. Endurance is developed when children regularly engage in aerobic activity. Strength is enhanced when children climb or swing a bat. Flexibility is increased through stretching exercises, performing cartwheels or reaching for a ball with a racquet.
