Title: Five Ways Parents Can Promote Their Children’s Physical Activity


1
Five Ways Parents Can Promote Their Childrens
Physical Activity
  • Follow these easy steps to help your kids stay
    active and gain the benefits above

2
Scheduled Their Exercise Sensibly
  • Kids schedules are busy, and they have much to
    dofrom school and homework, to extracurricular
    activities. That makes finding 60 minutes a day
    for exercise difficult.
  • To make exercising easier, make sure your child
    utilizes that 60 minutes of physical activity
    over the entire day. For example, 10 minutes of
    walking in the morning, 20 minutes of riding
    their bike bike to and from school, and 30
    minutes of playing any sport.
  • Keeping to that kind of schedule will ensure your
    childs involvement in physical activities
    without interrupting their normal schedules. The
    same goes for adults with busy schedules who wish
    to work out.

3
Be a Role Model
  • Let your child see you engaging in a variety of
    workouts and physical activities. If youre
    jogging, your child may want to try it. Children
    learn a lot from their parents. Your active life
    will inspire them to follow suit. It will be even
    better if you show interest in your kids
    physical activities. There are also many
    activities you and your children can enjoy
    together.
  • Go for morning walks together and tell them why
    doing so is important for good health. Besides
    inspiring your children to lead healthy lives,
    you get to spend quality time with them. Choose
    to walk or bike when tending to everyday
    household errands, rather than driving the car
    all the time.

4
Monitor and Minimize
  • Check how much time your children are spending in
    sedentary activities. Make sure your kids spend
    no more than two hours daily on TV and video
    games. Minimize their inactive time as much as
    possible. If your children are picky about how
    they spend their time, dont try to force them.
    Instead, convince them by telling them the
    positives of exercises.

5
Send Them Outdoors
  • Encourage your kids to play outside. According to
    one study, children who spend more time outdoors
    involved in physical activity are less likely to
    become obese or overweight. Researchers believe
    that children who spend time in green spaces are
    five times more active than those with no
    exposure to green space.
  • Play Frisbee or any other game with your children
    at a park, or have them ride their bikes on a
    nearby trail. Whatever game or activity your
    children prefer, spending time outdoors will make
    them more active.

6
Take Part in Sports
  • Encourage your children to take part in sports at
    school. That is one of the best ways to make your
    children more active. It not only makes them
    physically strong, but also provides mental and
    psychological benefits. Sports will make them
    stronger and keep them active enough to combat
    childhood obesity.
  • There are many ways to encourage your children to
    stay active. Dont be restrictive by trying to
    force them to exercise or severely limiting their
    screen time. All you need to do is stay positive
    and supportive of them, helping them realize the
    benefits and joy of playing outside and having
    fun.
  • Your dedication to improving your childrens
    levels of physical activity will contribute
    immensely to their health and well-being in the
    long run.
