Importance of exercises for Children

Playing ball, cycle- riding, going up and down stairs, climbing trees, walking, or karate — it all counts as exercise. There’s almost no part of you that doesn’t benefit from exercise: bones, muscles, lungs, brain.

You get the idea. Here’s a look at all the ways exercise helps the children.

Why Is Exercise Good for Children?

• Lungs and heart: Exercise make your lungs and hearts stronger for increased energy and endurance. That means you can play, walk, or jog longer without feeling tired.
• Muscles: Exercise strengthens and stretches muscles.
• Bones: Exercise builds strong bones. That’ll help with everything from how tall you stand to your overall strength.
• Reflexes and coordination: Exercise helps with reflexes and coordination. That helps you to catch a pop fly on the field or to land a perfect half-axel when figure skating. Remember, practice helps!
• Staying healthy: Exercise can make it less likely that you’ll get diseases when you grow old. It even boosts your immune system and that may help you avoid getting sick as often.
