‘Kids Challenge'

You don't have to be a professional athlete to work out like one. Starting next week, local youngsters will be able to learn this fact for themselves.

On Tuesday, the Auburn YMCA will begin a seven-week power training program for children. The class, Kids Challenge, will allow its 7- to 12-year-old participants to get active through some of the same exercises as many pro baseball and football players.

“We'll put them through a regular training workout that maybe (New York Yankees baseball player Alex Rodriguez) uses to stay in shape,” said Steve Komanecky, the YMCA's fitness director and one of the designers of the new class.
