Eric Peña 13 year old started at over 160 lbs. A few months into the program and he is down to 135lbs. His mother is very proactive at following the recommendations of the program. We are so happy for them.
Finding little ways to sneak in extra exercise during the day can help you lose extra weight! Try these ideas:
Here are some potential activities you can enjoy with your children, of course while following social distancing guidelines and mask wearing regulations.
Central Park is perfect for all four seasons, whether you are there in the spring, summer, fall, or winter. In the summer, you can enjoy boating on the Lake and enjoy the scenery, just with a simple rental process at the Loeb Boathouse. With the many possible trails and paths you can take, there is surely a new one for each visit!
2. Summer camps with wildlife
The Bronx Zoo, Prospect Park Zoo, and New York Aquarium are open all year round, but over the summer there are additional activities. For example, they have summer camps in which children get hands-on experiences with animals and the chance to explore nature. For more information, head over to this link.
3. Enjoying the sun and sand at the beach
Contrary to popular belief, NYC is home to many beaches! Even better, these beaches can be reached using public transportation– a car is not necessary at all. Popular beaches are Coney Island Beach, Manhattan Beach, Brighton Beach, Canarsie Beach, and Jones Beach, but there are many more than this.
4. A bike ride around Governor’s Island
Governor’s Island is only a seven-minute ferry ride away from Manhattan. Once you arrive, you can experience a new view of the city, as well as enjoy a bike ride around the island. What a great way to stay fit and have fun at the same time!
5. Kayaking in the city– for free
There are quite the number of free kayaking opportunities in the city– no need to sign up for memberships or enroll in programs! These are usually available at local parks and piers. Some of these locations include Brooklyn Bridge Park, North Brooklyn Boat Club, Hudson River Park, and Red Hook Boaters.
Not a fan of the hot summer weather? Not a problem! There are many enjoyable activities that can be done indoors as well. Head to the numerous museums, aquariums, indoor water parks, and play spaces that our city has to offer. Although this summer is likely to be one where we are still careful and aware of the pandemic going on, there seems to be more room for fun activities, both indoors and outdoors.
It may be tempting to skip breakfast, especially if you are running late on time in the mornings or are interested in losing weight. However, eating breakfast instead of skipping it can actually help you weigh less! Let’s quickly go through the reasons why.
With the COVID-19 pandemic still going on, many children are still experiencing school from home. Instead of meeting friends and teachers in classrooms, they interact with others virtually and may be cooped up at home. In times like now, it is even harder for children to stay fit and reach the physical activity guidelines recommended for their age group.

As long as poverty, injustice and gross inequality persist in our world, none of us can truly rest.
Live Light Live Right supports the American Academy of Pediatrics statement and acknowledges the inequities that exist within the communities we serve.

“The killing of George Floyd and the subsequent protests across the country have laid bare the nation’s legacy of racism and discrimination and the ways it harms all members of our communities. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) condemns racism of all forms, and notes that even vicarious racism – witnessed through social media, conversations with friends or family, or media images – harms children’s health.”
