It certainly doesn't
look like your typical
school bus. Inside it's
just as different.
Yes, children are still
here. However, instead
of seats, there are
mats, a monkey bar and
even a trampoline.
This is
the Fun Bus, a mobile
fitness center on
wheels.
“We
talk about why they need
to exercise," Fun Bus
owner Kerrilynn Yemma
said.
Each
half hour session starts
the same way by waking
up the bus.
Yemma
said, "They get to kick,
yell with their outside
voices and really
release and get warmed
up."
After a
few stretches, the
exercises begin with the
fitness version of itsy
bitsy spider.
This is
probably the only time
children don't get in
trouble for climbing the
walls.
Kerrilynn hopes by
making fitness fun she
can get children excited
about exercise and carry
it with them as they
grow up.
"I like
exercises," Daniel
Angarita said.
However, if these
children think they're
skipping out of homework
they're in for a
surprise.
"I try
to give them things to
do, like goals to
accomplish," Yemma said.
After
half an hour of
exercise, Payton
Marshall said “We do
cool downs."
Then
it's time to say
goodbye. But, leaving is
just as much fun as
being on board.
That's
