Kids are extremely active, and therefore, exercising every day is relatively easy. The recommended amount of exercise for children is 60 minutes a day or more.
Activities:
For the kids who just can't sit still
- Play tag
- Run, bike, or swim
- Go camping and hike
For the kids who have patience to learn
- Play sports
- Throw a ball, Frisbee, play catch
For the quieter kids
- Go for a walk
- Jump rope, play hopscotch
- Take them to the playground
While kids are preoccupied, parents can work out too. If you find yourself at the soccer fields cheering for your kid on the sidelines, take the timeouts and halftimes to walk around a bit and give your legs a stretch.
No matter what, every day try to find an hour of free time to engage your kids in a fun and active activity. Even just putting the music up loud and boogieing to your kids favorite song is enough. So go and have some fun!
