We're quit smoking, lose this extra pounds, with more movement and try to eat more healthily. Unlike us, some of our children is aware of decisions to improve their diet or general health and fitness. Why? Because we, their parents, are supposed to these decisions to them.
The World Health Organization has found that obesity in children aged 2-4 have doubled in the last 10 years and for children aged 6-15 years they have tripled . If prices continue to rise more than half of children in England is of 202 obese!
As guardians of future generations, what can we do to ensure children get fitter not thicker? I spoke with Charlotte Clemons, running, Rutland Children's fitness club, jumping Beanz (www.jumpingbeanz.co.uk). "Motivation is a central theme in the children fit and enjoy sport." , They said. Jumping Beanz classes are designed to improve self-confidence and general fitness and coordination. " She explained, "the general rule of thumb is that children should be at least one hour of physical activity per day. So, jumping Beanz constantly keeps the children motivated, active and in a non-competitive environment." The classes are so popular that Charlotte is now offering Jumping Beanz birthday parties and personnel training. "We developed holiday workshops proved that the really successful led to jumping Beanz parties - they are always good for the fitness message and the burden on the leadership of a party."
I got in touch with the British Heat Foundation, to find out what information they had children to take positive steps towards a fitter lifestyle and a healthier diet. Karen Gray, BHF Press Office was very excited about their campaign "Well Fit", was developed by a number of celebrities. They have two websites for children: one for under 11s http://www.bhf.org.uk/cbhf of the other 11s http://www.bhf.org.uk/yheart/ Both are full of interesting topics and fun, cold recipes, competitions, screen savers, games and links to national and regional events.
Children seem to bolt the idea of a fitter , Healthier lifestyle without much fuss. In 2020, when the WHO prediction becomes reality and our children reach their early 20s, they are fitter or fatter?
