Children are more sedentary every year, watching television or playing video games instead of biking around the neighborhood or playing baseball with their friends. Even some schools have stopped emphasizing fitness in their curriculum. In some school districts, physical education has vanished completely because of the lack of funding.

Kids need regular exercise to build strong bones and muscles. Exercise also helps children sleep better during the night and stay focus throughout the day. Such habits established in childhood help adolescents maintain healthy weight despite the hormonal changes, rapid growth and social influences that often lead to overeating and lack of physical activity. And active children are more likely to become fit adults.

As childhood become more sedentary for many, children have put on weight. In the past 30 years, the rate of childhood obesity has tripled, leading to a dramatic increase in the number of children with type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure.

The key is to value the importance of physical activity and help children develop healthy habits and behavior patterns that persist into adulthood.
