Wise eating choices are not the only factor in maintaining your child’s health and wellness. Physical activity is also an important part of the equation. Spending a minimum of twenty to thirty minutes three times a week in an activity that elevates your child’s heart rate will help to increase your child’s cardiovascular endurance, improve large muscle strength, increase flexibility, help maintain proper weight, and even reduce stress. Regular physical activity will not only be beneficial to your child now, it can develop healthy habits that will follow them into adulthood.
