You've heard people joke about "tiring their kids out." Kids have a natural abundance of energy, and that's a good thing! Using their energy through structured physical activity is a smart way to tire kids out and set them up for mental and physical success. All that energy can be put to good use.
Learn why workouts for kids are such a staple at Ultimate Fitness Sacramento:
Benefits of Physical Activity for Kids
Giving kids opportunities to be active is really important because of the benefits of physical fitness. For example, some of the physical benefits include:
- A stronger heart and cardiovascular system
- Healthy blood sugar
- Lungs that are more fit
- Maintaining a healthy weight
- Building strong bones
- Improving sleep
- Getting more mental energy and focus
- Enhancing emotional health
Kids who workout tend to have healthier immune systems, better posture, and better coordination as well. Experts recommend that kids between the ages of 4 and 12 get an hour of exercise each day.
Why Structured Fitness Matters
Any kind of physical activity is good for kids, but structured fitness is even better. On top of the physical benefits that kids get from any kind of movement, organized exercise offers:
- Practice following directions and focusing
- Motions designed to improve strength, flexibility, and endurance
- New and exciting experiences
- A healthy habit kids can develop for life
- Timed exercise to make sure kids get enough activity in
