Exercise and your children

It’s incredible how much information we have available to improve our health, fitness, and longevity.

At the same time, we are becoming more sedentary. Obesity is on the rise, and so is childhood obesity.

We need to help develop a positive relationship with exercise. You shouldn’t force your child to exercise because they may not pick up healthy habits if they hate it.

So what can you do?

The fix won’t be easy, but it’s also not extremely difficult either.

The objective is to find an exercise that your child likes to participate in.

To understand that, let’s define exercise.

Exercise is a physical activity that is carried out by your muscles that require energy.

I like this definition because it helps us understand that movement is exercise. With this definition, we don’t think of the gym, weight training, cardio, or other rigorous activity as an exercise for children.

Here are activities that you can consider exercise. This isn’t an exhaustive list.

Walking at the park
Playing at the playground
Hiking
Swimming
Bowling
Tennis
Golfing
Bike riding
Skating
Walking the dog
Basketball
Trampoline/trampoline park
Playing catch

Most of these options have a low cost.

Let’s get moving.

What kind of exercise do your children participate in?
