"The GCC is a wonderful
initiative towards fitness with knowledge . It's a beautiful combination of
making kids exercise physically by increasing their step count and at the same
time exercising them mentally as they tour the world with their steps, reading
and learning about the different countries and their details.
When Maanav came home
and told me about it, the first words that came out from my mouth was, “Wow! Can
we elders take part too? Do we also get a pedometer?" How I wished I was
an Oakridger too (though this is not the first time that I have wished so)
Maanav plays with his
Apartment friends every evening from 5:30pm -7:30pm. After putting on his pedometer,
he has started taking his bowling and fielding more seriously as it makes him
increase his steps compared to batting.
Previously he
would laze on the bed whenever watching TV. Now he lies on his back, cycling
with his legs in the air and enjoys his programs. If ever he checks his
pedometer and his count is less, he immediately begins to dance to increase it
thus making up for his physical activity for the day.
The GCC challenge has
also created lot of curiosity in Maanav about the place they are going to visit
next. His excitement in going to school has increased due to this knowledgeable
world tour with their steps. He looks forward to discovering a new destination
every day.
In short, Maanav has
become physically more active and loves it this way and so are we.
Cheers to GCC ...
Cheers to Oakridge for introducing this challenge to their kids".
