What's your child's fitness personality?

Continued from Yesterday


2. The Casual Athlete

Your child likes being active, but may not be driven enough to participate in competitive sports. Most children fall in this category. They are perfectly happy and fit – being casual participants.

Recommendations

Evaluate your child's fitness habits and set achievable goals.

Aim to fit in exercise 5 to 7 days a week.

Reward, praise and offer encouragement.

Vary physical activity routines.

Fit tip

Motivation is a crucial factor in any exercise regimen. Without motivation, it is all too easy to make excuses to slack off. Slacking off for a day can turn into slacking off for a week, a month, and eventually quitting the fitness habit altogether.
