CINCINNATI, April 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Breaking new ground in youth
health promotion, acclaimed actor, singer, and musician
Julian Lerner partners with
ACTION, the Advanced Cardiac Therapies Improving Outcomes Network,
to launch an empowering video series focused on essential exercises
for heart health for children. With a fervent dedication to
positive youth development and well-being, Julian Lerner, a distinguished Ambassador for
ACTION, leverages his celebrity influence to drive societal
betterment through this collaboration.
The ACTION Heart Healthy Video Series, featuring esteemed
pediatric exercise physiologist and ACTION member, Justine Shertzer, is a comprehensive resource
tailored for both healthy children and those grappling with heart
conditions under the expert guidance of their healthcare providers.
This dynamic series encompasses a wide array of exercises,
including invigorating warm-ups, full-body workouts, targeted arm
and leg exercises, heart-pumping cardio routines, and soothing
stretching exercises, all meticulously designed to be accessible
and adaptable, whether at home or on the go, with or without
specialized equipment.
To power the release of the video series, ACTION and
Julian Lerner have partnered with
Zigazoo Kids, the world's leading social network for children.
Every Wednesday, Julian shares a featured exercise on his channel,
where Zigazoo members actively participate and share their own
versions. This collaborative effort called Wellness Wednesdays with
Julian Lerner and ACTION not only
encourages kids to embrace heart-healthy habits but also fosters a
sense of community and excitement around wellness.
Julian Lerner expressed his
enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, "As the Ambassador for
ACTION, I'm honored to be part of this transformative endeavor. The
launch of this impactful video series underscores the critical role
exercise plays in maintaining heart health. Advocating for the
well-being of our youth has always been a personal passion, and I
firmly believe that by delivering engaging and educational content,
we can instill lifelong habits that will positively shape the lives
of children and adolescents."
ACTION, a leading global organization dedicated to
improving outcomes for heart failure patients, with a primary focus
on pediatric care, enthusiastically embraces this partnership. Dr.
Angela Lorts, MD, MBA, Co-Executive
Director of ACTION, remarked, "Julian
Lerner's unwavering commitment to leveraging his platform
for positive change is in perfect harmony with our mission.
Together, we are poised to ignite a transformative movement,
inspiring a new generation to place their health and well-being at
the forefront of their lives."
"Zigazoo is all about lifting the voices of kids and we're
honored to stand behind Julian and his passion in this initiative.
He is such a positive role model, and we love the creative and
engaging way that he and ACTION are inspiring so many young people
to adopt heart-healthy habits with this video series," says Zigazoo
co-founder Leah Ringelstein. Leah
and her husband Zak, former elementary school educators, envisioned
Zigazoo during the tumultuous times of the Covid-19 pandemic. Their
dedication stemmed from the struggle to find a positive, safe and
developmentally appropriate space for their three young children
and their generation to be social during that time. Now, their
platform stands as a beacon of creativity, health, and fun,
inspiring countless kids worldwide to share their voices and
passions in safe, social and active ways.
The unveiling of this video series is timely, arriving amidst a
critical juncture where instilling healthy habits in our youth is
paramount. Against the backdrop of escalating rates of childhood
obesity and sedentary lifestyles, initiatives of this nature serve
as crucial building blocks towards sculpting a healthier tomorrow
for generations to come.
