In its continuing effort to provide its guests with opportunities to integrate health and wellness into their travels, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts has introduced RU Ready?, an interactive fitness program for kids aged 7-17 which fuses a kid's contemporary world of computers, video games and interactive web communication together with outdoor play.

The program is available seasonally at select resort properties, and RU Ready?, is a partnership with Trick It Out Sports, offering a fun fitness challenge designed to improve kids' athletic skills for baseball, basketball, football, lacrosse, skateboarding, snowboarding, soccer and more.

It combines the use of playing cards and a web-based experience to provide instructional and competitive participatory skill challenges. Kids are trained in the development of seven essential fundamental fitness skills (agility, balance, coordination, flexibility, speed, strength and stamina) by doing "tricks" similar to skateboarding and snowboarding.

They are asked to perform drills of specific tricks that sharpen their skills in different ways, then compete against others or against their own scores of previous sessions. Kids will also receive a special RU Ready? adidas t-shirt to take home.

E-mail updates and customized web pages allow participants to engage and continue their training after they return home. They can compete virtually against other kids or just test their own progress, incorporating online media with outdoor fun.

RU Ready? is currently available at The Fairmont Chateau Whistler; The Fairmont Kea Lani and The Fairmont Orchid, Hawaii; Fairmont Mayakoba, Mexico; The Fairmont Southampton, Bermuda; Fairmont St Andrews, Scotland and The Fairmont Turnberry Isle Resort & Club near Miami. The program will soon be available at The Fairmont Acapulco Princess, Mexico and Fairmont Singapore.

Specific program details, including pricing, session times and registration instructions are available on www.fairmont.com, under property listings.
