Consistency builds strong bodies AND sharp minds. Parents, here’s something powerful to know ⬇️ Studies in pediatric exercise science show that just 1 session per week of structured physical literacy training can improve: ✅ Coordination ✅ Balance ✅ Strength ✅ Mood & confidence …but progress is slow and often plateaus. But when children and teens attend 2 sessions per week, research consistently finds double-digit increases in: 🧠 Cognition & memory ⚡ Processing speed 📚 Academic performance 🏃‍♂️ Skill development and strength 😄 Motivation & self-confidence Why? Because the brain thrives on repetition, frequency, and movement variety. Neuroscience shows that movement twice per week activates learning centers in the brain 2–3x more often, helping kids: ✨ Build neural pathways ✨ Retain new skills ✨ Improve attention and behavior ✨ Feel more confident in physical tasks In fact, a 2020 review on youth training found that two weekly sessions lead to significantly higher improvements in motor skills and overall fitness compared to one weekly session. Another study in Frontiers in Psychology found that movement twice weekly boosts working memory and executive function — exactly what helps with school, emotions, and problem-solving. And here’s what we see at Stronger Together Homeschool Academy every single week: ➡️ Kids who train once a week improve. ➡️ Kids who train twice a week transform. They move better. They think clearer. They become more confident. And they stick with it — because success feels GOOD. If you want your child to strengthen both their body and mind, consider adding that second weekly session. That’s where the biggest growth happens. 💛 We’re here to guide them every step of the way. If you’d like help choosing the best class times or building a weekly routine, message us anytime — we love helping parents support their kids’ growth. #StrongerTogether #PhysicalLiteracy #HomeschoolFitness #YouthTraining #BrainAndBodyDevelopment

Why Consistency Matters More Than Intensity As kids grow, their bodies and brains are changing fast — and one of the greatest gifts we can give them is the structure, confidence, and physical foundation that comes from consistent strength training. This isn’t about lifting heavy. This is about helping kids move better, feel better, and become better versions of themselves. Here’s what happens when kids train consistently: 💪 Physical Benefits • Better posture & core stability — Kids sit more than ever today. Strength training helps counter the slouch. • Improved coordination & balance — Their brain + body connection becomes faster and sharper. • Higher bone density — Growing bones strengthen dramatically with resistance training. • Injury prevention — Stronger muscles and joints protect them during sports, play, and life. • Faster metabolism & healthier weight balance — Muscle boosts daily energy use, even at rest. • Movement literacy — Kids learn squats, hinges, pushes, pulls, carries… the movement patterns that last a lifetime. 🧠 Mental & Emotional Benefits • Confidence skyrockets — Kids SEE their progress. One more rep. One more skill. One more victory. • Better focus and impulse control — Strength work improves executive function and self-regulation. • Stress relief — Movement helps kids process emotions, reduce anxiety, and feel grounded. • Greater resilience — They learn that challenges can be overcome with effort — a lesson that translates into school, relationships, and personal growth. • Sense of accomplishment — Nothing beats the look on a kid’s face when they realize, “I can do hard things.” 🏋️‍♂️ Why We Emphasize Consistency at STHA At STHA, we train with intention — not intensity. We teach kids proper form, safe progressions, and how to build strength the right way. And we’ve seen it repeatedly: When kids show up consistently, they grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. It’s one of the most powerful tools for raising strong, confident, self-assured kids.

Hey everyone — Spencer here 👋🏼 As we dedicate more time and energy into this community, I want to remind you of something powerful: Kids grow best when they’re supported in two ways — with guided physical literacy training and with opportunities for creative free play. Both matter. Both build confidence. And both help kids feel strong in their bodies and capable in their lives. Inside Stronger Together Homeschool Academy, we focus on teaching: ✅ Strength ✅ Balance ✅ Coordination ✅ Flexibility ✅ Stability ✅ Targeting …all through fun, movement-rich activities that kids actually enjoy. Some days they’ll crush a drill. Some days they’ll struggle. But that’s the beauty of it — just because they can’t today, doesn’t mean they won’t in the future. When kids learn to stick with things, even when it’s hard, you can literally watch their confidence rise. Your child is capable of amazing things — our job is simply to guide them, support them, and give them a safe space to grow. 💬 How Can We Support You? We want to meet the needs of your family, so please feel free to: 🟣 Ask questions 🟣 Share challenges 🟣 Tell us what your child needs help with 🟣 Request topics, lessons, or resources We’ll continue creating high-quality content, tools, and programs to support your kids — from movement and fitness to social confidence, health, and lifelong wellness. We are here to help you raise strong, confident, self-assured kids who feel comfortable in their bodies, their abilities, and their world. Let’s build something special together ❤️ — Spencer Aiken, CSCS Stronger Together Homeschool Academy

Parents—if there’s one thing I’ve seen over 25+ years working with kids, it’s this: Children develop best when they get structured guidance AND the freedom to explore. Here’s why both matter: 1️⃣ Guided Physical Literacy Builds Skills Structured sessions teach kids: - How to move safely - How to build strength, balance, coordination, flexibility, and stability - How to use proper technique so they don’t get hurt - How to gain confidence by learning new skills step-by-step It creates a foundation they’ll use for life. 2️⃣ Creative Free Play Builds Brains Free play unlocks: - Problem solving - Creativity and imagination - Social skills, teamwork, and conflict resolution - Movement variety that builds the nervous system and motor pathways Kids learn through discovery—not just instruction. 3️⃣ The Magic Is in the Combination When kids get both, they thrive. They learn what their bodies can do, and then they get to explore those abilities on their own terms. This creates: - Higher confidence - Better movement quality - Happier, healthier, more resilient kids - A lifelong love of activity and fitness At Stronger Together Homeschool Academy, we intentionally blend guided physical literacy with creative free play—because your child deserves the best of both worlds. If you want your child to grow stronger, more capable, and more confident… Come try a class. You’ll see the difference. 💪🧠 Strong body. Strong mind. Stronger Together.

We all have those moments where a push-up feels impossible… or a pull-up seems out of reach. But here’s the truth: Not being able to do something TODAY doesn’t define your future. It simply shows you where to begin. Every skill, every rep, every breakthrough in strength starts the same way — with a first step, a small effort, a willingness to keep trying. If you truly commit to the goal, if you show up, if you keep working… 👉 No goal is impossible. So keep going. Keep striving. Keep setting new goals. Keep building the strongest version of yourself and your kids. You’re capable of more than you think — and we’re right here walking this journey with you. Stronger Together. 💥
