Keeping Your Kids Fit

When you have kids, you’re always going to want what’s best for them. This, of course, takes a lot of work. There are a lot of areas to focus on! You want to make sure they’re settled, that they’re making friends, that their education is going well and that they’re happy all-round. One major factor of overall well being that many parents tend to forget about implementing into their kids’ lives, however, is exercise. Most of us assume that our little ones are running around enough to maintain good shape. But when you consider the average child over six should get about an hour’s worth of exercise a day, it might be worth implementing some sort of sports routine into their week to ensure they’re exercising as much as recommended.

There are all sorts of different sports that your kid might enjoy and this is the most important aspect of making exercise work for your children - making sure that they enjoy it. Not all kids are the same, so different sports or forms of exercise will appeal to different kids.

Take a look at the infographic by Cisco Athletic below. This demonstrates different trends surrounding youth fitness and can help give you insight into different sports and games that kids are currently finding more appealing. Lacrosse, track and field, and gymnastics are on the rise in general, so these might be something that appeals to your kid too!
