Fitness and Exercise For Children
Fitness and exercise are important. We all know that, and had
that lesson drummed into our heads in school. But, how much
attention do we pay to our children when it comes to fitness and
exercise? In our modern day, too many children spend the
majority of their time either on the couch in front of the
television, or in their rooms on a computer or playing a video
game. Fitness and exercise, a natural part of childhood in past
generations, is something that the modern child and the modern
parent have to work at on a daily basis.
If your child
is lacking in fitness and exercise think about enrolling your
child in an after school sports program of some sort. Soccer is
a popular fitness and exercise method, and in the proper season
so is hockey, softball, baseball, lacrosse, football, tennis,
and even golf. Many parents find that their children enjoy
swimming and as one of the best methods of fitness and exercise
in the world, swimming should be encouraged. This can be simple
playing or exercising in the water, or formal swimming laps in
an Olympic sized pool. Both methods of fitness and exercise are
great.
Those who live in rural areas may find fitness
and exercise to be easier to come by than those who live in
urban areas or in the suburbs. In a rural area,
a child has
fields to play in, woods to explore, and sports like fishing, as
well as chores like feeding livestock. For the rural lifestyle
fitness and exercise is more ingrained. For children living in
the city, fitness and exercise can be explored at the nature
center, at the Y or health club, and with after school
activities. Even simple games like four squares and playing with
a jump rope can be good forms of fitness and exercise.
Wintertime seems to be a time when many people, both children
and adult, forsake their fitness and exercise programs. That is
too bad because that makes it all that much harder to get back
into shape when spring comes around. Fitness and exercise is
something that should be pursued all year long. During the
winter sports that keep a person indoors, like bowling, are good
choices. Also indoor health clubs and activities like mall
walking in groups are good choices for fitness and exercise.
Whether a person is a child or an adult, fitness and exercise
should not be overlooked.
