These days there is a great deal to interest kids and absorb their attention; things that require them to exercise nothing but their thumbs. The result is an upswing in childhood obesity and even diabetes and other overweight related health problems. As a parent it is your responsibility to ensure your child has not only a good diet, but enough exercise to make them fit and healthy.
This is not as difficult as you may think. Here are some tips to get your kids loving exercise.
- When kids are little, purchase play equipment such as trampolines and slides rather than swings where they just sit.
- Teach them how to ride a bike and take them cycling every weekend.
- If it’s not too far and you have time, walk them to school. Pick them up in the afternoon when they may be more tired.
