As the number of obese and overweight children in the United States continues to climb,
fitness is a consideration that weighs heavily on the minds of parents, caretakers and
teachers. The risk of health issues accompanying obesity among children provokes many
fears that unless parents and children make significant changes in the lifestyles inhabited by

our kids, diabetes, heart disease, and other weight related conditions have the potential to
run rampant among American youth.
Although encouraging a healthy lifestyle, among children, that includes physical activity and
fitness is vital to addressing issues associated with health problems and obesity, the addition
of kid's fitness can also promote a lifelong love. Fitness not only encourages physical activity,
keeping weight and accompanying conditions at bay, it also helps protect children from 1

injuries that can occur when they are not accustomed to physical activity, movement and
sports. Most injuries that plague children completing physical activities occur as a result of a
lifestyle that lacks movement and activity that can provide balance, coordination and muscle
memory necessary for a fit lifestyle.
Despite statistics praising physical activity among children as a weight management tool and
method of decreasing injuries during activities and sports, fitness among children boasts a
plethora of positive results and side effects. Strong bones and joints, stress relief, self
confidence improvement and better academic concentration are just some of the other
benefits touted by a child's active lifestyle, says HealthyChildren.org. In fact, according to the
children's organization advocating a healthy lifestyle among youth, children who participate
in sports, physical activities and other types of fitness positively affects the social lives of
participants, offering a socially acceptable activity and associated peers.
Understanding what types of activities and scheduling conflicts are preventing a child from
obtaining a sufficient amount of physical activity and fitness can be a good way for parents
to begin to understand how and where transformations can be made regarding kids' health.
Tracking the amount of activity a child partakes can be as simple as gaining an awareness of
their school schedules and whether they include physical education classes, recess and other
ways children participate in fitness centered activities. Children who participate in a variety
of physically demanding activities at school, such as extracurricular athletics or PE classes
may not need as much prompting and extra fitness added to their day as a child who spends
more time still and sedentary.

Set an Example
One of the best ways parents, caregivers and teachers can prompt children to compete in
fitness activities and grasp a healthy lifestyle is by striving toward adopting a similar lifestyle
that promotes and values physical activity. In fact, according to USA Today "No Time to
Weight," children with even one obese parent have a 50 percent chance of being obese
themselves. Children with two obese parents have an 80 percent chance of following in their
footsteps, the article continues. Children who observe healthy lifestyles in their parents and
role models have a better chance of adopting similar habits, highlighting the vital role
parents play in influencing the fitness levels and physical activity of children.
