Fitness Suggestion for Kids

SportyMom · #1 (**permalink**) 11-03-2010, 6:19 PM

I know this is the age of technology, however, I remember the days when kids were outside playing, running around and building forts. My seven year old is very content with sitting inside watching movies, playing on the computer or coloring.

Does anyone have any suggestions how to get her "up and moving"? Are there any good kid exercise/activity programs that I can get her into?

Thanks!

Hi Friend
If your child is busy on the computer find what kind of sports they enjoy playing and then see if you can encourage them to play it practically. If they enjoy watching movies then walk with them to the local multiplex. It's great really as you then not only get them exercising but the bond between you both will grow.

Hope this helps you.

There are all sorts or Parent/Child Yoga videos that are really fun and engaging. Kids love bending and twisting and its a real challenge for parent and child so you have something to work towards.

Kids love trampolines. My kids get year round fun and excercise on it. They have even brought their sleeping bags out side in the summer and "camped" out on the trampoline. Lots of fun and healthy too!
