Summary
This study tests a 12-week community exercise program for mothers and their children (ages 10-17) to improve heart health. The program includes twice-weekly fitness sessions at local CrossFit gyms, focusing on fun activities, teamwork, and health education. Researchers want to see if the program is practical and helps families become more active. About 100 mother-child pairs will participate.
