CELEBRITY TRAINER DAWN STROZIER & 'THE FITNESS KIDZ' HOOK UP: Together they educate families about childhood obesity.
Celebrity fitness trainer Dawn Strozier and "The Fitness Kidz" are educating families across the country about the growing epidemic of childhood obesity and motivating kids to live healthier lifestyles.
Their new DVD "The Fitness Kidz Exercise and Fun For The Whole Family" is now available at www.thefitnessqueen.com.
The Fitness Kidz are a group of 12 young people between the ages of 5 to 14 who are enthusiastic about being shining examples for fitness among their peers.
Dawn Strozier and The Fitness Kidz will tour this summer to not only educate and motivate but also promote their new DVD "The Fitness Kidz Exercise and Fun For The Whole Family." Strozier has been one of the leading celebrity trainers for the past 10 years. She has worked with some of today's leading talent to build better bodies through her unique personal training style.
Strozier believes fitness is essential and can be fun for all age levels. The Fitness Kidz were inspired by the dramatic increase in childhood obesity in the United States. During the past 20 years, results from a National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey indicate that an estimated 17 percent of children and adolescents ages 2-19 years are over weight.
"Obesity tends to persist through life," says Strozier. "Our mission is to help all kids, regardless of weight, have more opportunities and develop healthy habits with eating and physical activity."

In the second half of the routine Dawn Strozier leads the parents and kids through a series of combinations that provide overall physical conditioning, toning and weight loss.
Dawn Strozier & The Fitness Kidz upcoming appearances include 7/12 The Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson Challenge ( Baltimore , MA ) and 9/11 The Circle of Sisters Conference ( New York , NY ). They will also embark on a national tour this summer. Strozier and The Fitness Kidz help parents and their children understand the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. She's the personal trainer to Comedian/Radio Host Steve Harvey who was instrumental in developing the group and currently sponsoring The Fitness Kidz in their efforts to education our youth.
The concept of The Fitness Kidz was started when Steve Harvey met Broderick Sauldsberry, a young man in his teens who was having weight issues at the time and is presently one of the original members of The Fitness Kidz. He introduced Sauldsberry to Dawn Strozier and challenged him to take her 12 week program. As a result of Steve Harvey's generosity and Strozier's fitness program, Broderick Sauldsberry lost 40 pounds. During Strozier's training sessions, other parents saw the progress and wanted their children to join the program. At that moment "The Fitness Kidz" were formed.
"Dawn Strozier is my hero!" Says Sauldsberry. "I have successfully lost 40 pounds through her program and I want to motivate other kids my age to live a healthier life just as she's motivated me."
Dawn Strozier and The Fitness Kidz will tour nationwide this summer to educate the world on this growing epidemic of childhood obesity and promote their new DVD "The Fitness Kidz Exercise and Fun For The Whole Family."
