Health and Diet
Don't blame the birthday cake! Research shows that sugar does not cause hyperactivity. Kids who were given high levels of sugar failed to show hyperactivity. In fact, it may be the opposite. Studies have shown that sugar (carbohydrates) may have a calming effect. The effect may go unnoticed because of other influences. It may just be the party atmosphere that rev up the kids.

Fitness:
Be prepared to spin. Bring a full water bottle to your spinning class and get ready to consume plenty of fluids. You will also need a towel to wipe away the sweat and plenty of it.
