 Children should try to eat and exercise:

The best way to stay fit and toned, when most adults think about exercising, is to imagine training in a gym, running on a treadmill, or lifting weights in a weight room.

But for children, exercise means playing and staying physically active. Children participate in school gym classes, recesses, dance classes or soccer exercises, cycling, or stealth exercises.

There are many benefits to exercising, and regular exercise can benefit everyone. Children who lead active lives will have:

1. Strong bones and muscles

2. Less likely to be overweight

3. The chances of type 2 diabetes are low

4. Low blood pressure and cholesterol

5.  A more positive attitude towards life.

In addition to enjoying the health benefits of regular physical exercise, fit babies sleep better. They are able to cope with physical and mental challenges, starting from running so they don’t miss the bus until they study for the exam.

The three elements of being in shape:

If you’ve ever seen a group of kids play in a park, you’ve seen three elements of staying physically fit:

1. Anyone who secretly follows them (resistance)

2. They move along the metal bars hanging from the arms (balls)

3. Shoe bending (flexibility)

Parents should encourage their children to do a variety of exercises so that they can work on these three elements.

Patience increases when a child regularly participates in aerobic activities. During aerobic exercise, the larger muscles move, the heart pumps faster and you breathe harder. Aerobic activity strengthens the heart and improves the body's ability to supply oxygen to all cells in the body.

Aerobic exercise can be a lot of fun for both adults and children. Here are some examples of aerobic activity:

1. Basketball

2. Cycling

3. Ice Skating

4. Line Skating

5. Football

6. Swimming

7. Tennis

8. Walking

9. Jag

To run

Building strength does not mean lifting weights. Instead, children can do push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, and other exercises that help tone and strengthen the muscles. Children also improve strength when climbing, standing, or fighting. Helps to improve stretch flexibility, flexes muscles and joints, and allows easy movement, covering the entire range of motion. Kids have the opportunity to stretch every day, reaching for toys, spreading their legs, or cartwheeling.

Problems living in the spring:

Children and adolescents sit longer than before. They spend a few hours every day in front of the screen (televisions, smartphones, tablets, and other devices) using different media (TV shows, videos, movies, games). This extra time in front of the screen and insufficient time of physical activity exacerbates the problem of childhood obesity. One of the best ways to encourage children to engage in physical activity is to sit and work, especially watching television or using other types of screens. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends the following for parents:

Your kids spend time using a variety of mediums, including television, social media, and video games. The media should deprive a child of a few hours of sleep or activity.

1. Give your 2 to 5-year-olds 1 hour or less a day.

2. Discourage your children under the age of 18 from using any type of screen without video chat.

3. Choose high-quality shows to understand what they are watching and to watch them with your kids.

4. Save televisions, computers, and video games outside your kids' bedroom.

5. Close the screen during meals.

How much exercise is enough?

Parents should make sure their children get enough exercise. But how much is enough? Children and adolescents should exercise moderately to vigorously for 60 minutes or more per day.

 Children 1 to 5 years old should play actively several times a day. Children aged 1 to 3 years should actively play 60 minutes daily and children aged 3 to 5 years 120 minutes. This time should include planned adult-led activities and unorganized games. Young children should not be lazy for long periods of time (not more than an hour) while sleeping. And, in school, children should not.
