Zio children’s active wear encourages kids to stay active (giveaway)

Sometimes it seems that in our society kids are encouraged not to exercise. Running and jumping is often frowned upon, while sitting still will get an award for being a good girl/boy. I understand that there may be reasons behind that, like safety, discipline, etc. But could it be that because of such influence, kids subconsciously are avoiding exercising and would much rather sit on the couch than play actively.

In an effort to keep our two little girls active, we are trying different ways to get them moving. We sign them up for dance classes, take them for walks in the park, play hopscotch in the driveway.

I also found that one of the great incentives for kids to stay active is to have clothes that are comfortable, colorful, and stylish.

We love Zio Sport active clothing. It is very comfortable and oh, so stylish. My 4-year-old thinks she is a soccer super star when she puts it on. In addition, she know that if we put a Zio outfit on, that means we are going for a walk, for a run, to play with a ball, or to jump rope.

Zio clothing is 100% polyester, which I just recently found out is perfect for active play, running, or hiking.

Per Jeff Alt, cotton retains moisture from sweat which clings to your body, which can lower your internal body temperature and cause hypothermia.  Children are more susceptible to hypothermia than adults. Synthetic clothing will wick the moisture away from the body.  

Zio active wear is very easy to wash. Sometimes, I just rinse a stain under running water without washing the entire shirt

Zio Sport was started by two mothers and a grandmother who felt there was a void in quality activewear for kids.

Zio Sport designs, develops and sells active clothing for kids 4-14. Zio will be launching a new line this month. Here are some pictures of the Spring/Summer 2011 collection.

I admire Zio Sport’s generosity. It donated $38K of clothing to Kids in Haiti. Zio shipped more than 26 boxes of clothing to Clothes4Souls. The non-profit organization will then sent the apparel to the children of Haiti.  

“The kids in Haiti still need our help,” Zio Sport President and Co-founder, Ragan Melton said. “These kids have nothing. Clothes4Souls  will ensure that the children of Haiti receive much-needed clothing.  Clothes4Souls focuses on children, just like we do here at Zio Sport.”
