What's your child's fitness personality?

Continued from Yesterday

3. The Sedentary Child

Your child may lack interest in physical activity. Long hours on the computer or addiction to the television can result in a sedentary lifestyle. Finding a fun activity for your child can be the motivating factor that leads to a lifetime of physical fitness.

Recommendations

Encourage physical activity based on your child's personality.

Educate your child to recognise the fact that exercise will improve performance at school and play.

Set times for homework, play and exercise.

Make exercise time a fun time. Join in! Play games, walk, take a trip to the park or play a sport.

Praise your child's efforts.
