For adults, exercise means going to the gym to do time on the treadmill and lift weights; or driving to the nearest court to play tennis or basketball. For most adults, getting fit and staying fit is equivalent to mounds of discipline, bundles of cash (for gym memberships and equipment) and lots of free time.
Infants and kids have it easy; for them, exercise means play time. And they get more than just weight loss and muscle development from all that running and playing they do. Exercise also improves work on their creativity and imagination. Kids get to exercise everyday by riding their bikes, playing jump ropes and tag, or during P.E. classes and dance lessons with no worries about time and calories.
Here are the many benefits kids get from exercise and play:
It sure is fun to have an active child who’s engaged in sports inside and outside of school. Now, how do you encourage your child to start an active lifestyle at an early age? Believe it or not, it actually begins in his toddler years. Of course, in order to ready your child with the many physical activities he’s sure to face in the following years, baby activities that combine muscles and posture exercises are crucial in order to build strong bones and muscles.
Baby yoga is a good way to kick off your child’s active lifestyle. This popular baby activity engages both moms and kids in body exercises that benefit them both physically and emotionally. The Yoga Stretchycise moves help strengthen baby’s bones and muscles, improve his balance and coordination, and develop his social skills. It also beats allowing your active baby to run around inside the house as the feel of a new environment and structured exercises will guide his movement the proper way.
Early movement among infants is highly recommended in raising a fit and healthy child. Here’s a guide that the National Association for Sports and Physical Education in the US has prepared to help determine how long infants, toddlers, and preschoolers should engage in physical activities.
