Their program focuses on three major components: self-esteem, fitness and nutrition. They use nothing other than recycled car tires and bodyweight for their workouts. Amenzone Foundation believes it is important for today’s youth to understand the idea of resourcefulness over resources. The biggest part of being healthy is being happy.
