We heard it over and over again - kids should learn good
health habits in their youth, so get 'em while they're young. True, children
adapt to different lifestyle choices and changes more readily than
adults, but that doesn't mean they should sacrifice their childhood
for flawless fitness. Instead, there should be a careful balance of exercise
and entertainment. After all, all work(out) and no play makes Jack (and Jane,
and Jeffrey, and Jessica) physically fit, but painfully dull.
One of the names you might just recognize. Little Hercules - or Richard Sandrak - was an international phenomenon a decade and a half ago. Raised by parents looking for world records instead of what was best for their kid, the adult Herc is now a stuntman out in California. He doesn't regret his early career. He just wishes there was more fun interspersed in between the exercise routines.
