Inside a colourful tent in Nairobi, children aged 18 months to about 12 years do flips, splits, backflips and tumbling during a rigorous session of gymnastics. Through gymnastics, Owuor ensures his little trainees get that one hour of exercise they need every day. “When I started, not many people knew about gymnastics, let alone the fact that children, too, need to hit the gym. Gymnastics can help your child increase coordination and balance, therefore enhancing body awareness and movement. Owuor says children who train with him get to participate in national competitions and win awards, such as gold and bronze medals.
