 <description>&lt;div class=&quot;ymca_story_body&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;A healthy employee is a productive employee.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Employers in St. Louis and across the United States have long known that the cost of employing unhealthy workers is high. With rising health insurance rates and the push to do more with less, the health of workers is becoming a pivotal piece in any company’s productivity. Consider these statistics from the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention:&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>8 Ways to Get Your Kids Fit</title>
 <link>http://www.ymcastlouis.org/node/4141</link>
 <description>&lt;div class=&quot;ymca_story_body&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;By Jennifer Saltiel, LMSW&lt;br /&gt;
Dr. Jennifer Trachtenberg shares her tips for making exercise and fitness fun for kids.   www.fitnessmagazine.com&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fit Kids = Fit Adults &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sometimes it seems that today&#039;s children are far more motivated to give their fingers a workout playing video games or using the remote control than they are to move bigger muscles in their bodies. In fact, research shows that 50 percent of 12- to 20-year-olds are not getting the exercise they need. And 34 percent of those kids would fail an eight-minute treadmill test.&lt;/p&gt;
