The more activity that young people have when they are developing the better! The growing childhood obesity crisis in this country which is due partly to the inactive lifestyle that children are leaving, and partly due to the amount of crap that they are putting in there mouths, is proof that children need to exercise more often then they are doing.
The benefits are impressive and long lasting:
* Healthy heart and lungs
* Stronger bone density
* Stronger muscles
* Reduced chances of childhood diseases; diabetes, asthma, arthritis (yes in kids)
* Increased energy levels
* Reduces stress levels
* Weight loss
* Improving a specific sport (football, rugby, basketball)
Most of all ITS FUN!!
Parents, uncles, aunties or big brother sisters, Get your kid’s down the park and out the house!
