Most of today's kids are suffering
from obesity and the rate is growing day by day. The problem
arrives from the fact of not having physical exercise in
children. Today most of the kids want to enjoy their spare
time by playing video games, watching television, or by
reading. Earlier kids had enough exercises which they
achieved while playing games like football, baseball, or by
even climbing trees.
Active kids are found to be better and fit. An exercise
program includes work out for achieving strength and
flexibility. The program followed by kids is completely
different from the ones followed by grown ups. The main
reason for kids hating exercise is that they found it
repetitive and boring. For gaining their interest, one has
to make the exercise a bit interesting. That can be done by
adding fun in the form of games. In other wards some games
can be modified by adding more physical activity in it.
Initially parents or teachers should organize such games.
They have to participate with them in such games. Once they
acquire interest, they will invite their friends so that it
will be a group activity.
Exercise is a very important activity needed by today's kids
as most of them are in active and not enthusiastic. Without
having a physical activity will create some many problems
later in their life once they cross the age of forty.
Changes have to be made in their lifestyle so that they will
become more happy and energetic. There is unique factor
found in almost all kids and that is there fun loving
nature. Child psychologists suggest including the fun factor
in all the activities which there are hesitant to do.
Parents have a major role in influencing the kid's nature of
interest. If you want your kids to follow a healthy
lifestyle you should also practice it. You can change the
lifestyle in such a way that kids will start imitating you.
For example if you were using elevator instead of stairs
your kids will also follow you. But instead if you use the
stairs the kids will be happy to follow you and after some
they will use the stairs even in your absence.
You should plan the exercise schedule interesting and fun
filling so that kids won't stay back in front of the
television to watch entertaining serials and shows. You can
make it further interesting by doing a group activity with
all of your family members so that the kids will be thrilled
and amazed. The above strategy can be followed while
performing activities like walks, cycling, swimming, biking,
etc. Always try not to push your child too much for
exercises which will have a negative impact on the kid by
loosing interest. Kids should never feel that is a sort of
punishment to them.
The children in higher classes at school will get the
opportunity to practice soccer, baseball and basket ball.
You can also practice the game with your child at home by
using the garden space. The kid should feel that you are a
participant of the game and not a trainer. These types of
games will boost the spirit and energy level of your kid and
they will never get lazy to do physical activities.

when you're busiest - what with packing your kids off to
school, looking after the house and rushing to work too.
Often moms give a ready-to-serve breakfast with sweet
cereals and cereal bars which do not have much of a
nutrition profile to boast of.
