He has a knack for bringing forth simple, common-sense examples and comparisons to explain complex topics. It is truly a must-read for any parent looking to foster habits that promote health in their children.

I highly recommend Fredrick Hahn's "Strong Kids Healthy Kids". Fred is so smart and wise in this book and in everything he says. He is helping so many children to get stronger, with this book, like he has helped so many adults get strong with his last book.
Kids will have fun doing the strength training and parents can work right along with their children.
Read it and see for yourself. Fred gives resources for wonderful, fun and simple recipes that kids will
love. Hahn is totally committed to helping any child and adult that he can.
I work with Fredrick Hahn because I truly believe in what he is doing. He is the best.

This Book Could Easily Have Been Called "Slow Burn For Kids" November 17, 2008
Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Man (Spartanburg, SC)
Everybody at some point or another gets on a fitness kick and tries to incorporate exercise into their family life for the sake of their health. It's a noble task that oftentimes ends in quick failure because you didn't have a clear-cut plan of action to make this new discipline become a permanent part of your regular routine.
Fitness expert Fred Hahn understands this and wanted to equip parents and children alike with exercise that will be efficient, effective, and effortless compared to any activity you've ever done before to improve your strength and health. The playful language that Hahn uses definitely reveals he's a daddy who knows how to talk to his child. And that "voice" comes through loud and clear throughout the book.
This book could easily have been called "Slow Burn For Kids" because many of the principles are taken directly from Hahn's bestselling Slow Burn Fitness Revolution book co-written with Drs. Mike and Mary Dan Eades. Combine "slow burn" fitness with a healthy low-carbohydrate nutritional approach and you have a perfect way to make your kids stronger and healthier than you ever thought possible!
