by Heather Long | More from this Blogger

Love these end of the week reviews where we can see what articles we talked about this week and catch you up on articles you may have missed. Is May really over? Can you imagine it? Let's take a good look at what we did this week.

Focus on the Olympics

Our Focus on the Olympics series continued with looks at Ian Crocker, Eric Vendt, Jessica Hardy, Kate Ziegler, Brendan Hansen, Larsen Jensen, Margaret Hoelzer, Aaron Perisol, Jason Lezak, Ryan Lochte and Chip Peterson. If you haven't had a chance to check out these athletes, they are definitely worth reading and sharing with your kids. The Summer Olympics are designed to bring out the best and these are among some of the best in their field.

Other Articles

In Sticks and Stones we look at how activity can help kids who may otherwise face negative labels from their peers. We discuss How to Build a Better You and what you can do to improve your personal fitness. Exercise is about more than building muscle, it's about building Bones-They Do a Body Good and Exercise Benefits the Whole Person.

Are Sports Not Working Anymore? Is that a problem we're avoiding confronting in the modern era when dealing with childhood fitness? In the meanwhile, Summer TV is Back On - Exercise Fun is a great way to jazz up your workout while getting in your favorite television shows.

An Illinois school district is banning birthday cake in an odd move to promote fitness, even when they aren't banning candy for the same reason. In Friday Fitness Fun Articles, we take a look at the fitness ratings for different metropolitan areas. And finally, marking the end of the month is our End of the Month Fitness Goal Checklist.
