Exercise benefits for children

Some of the benefits you can explain to your kids that they will enjoy from exercising are listed below:

• Exercise makes your lungs and heart stronger, giving you more energy so you can play for longer.
• Exercise helps blood flow to your brain and organs, so you can concentrate in school.
• Exercise strengthens and stretches your muscles. So you don’t hurt yourself when you’re lifting something heavy.
• Exercise builds strong and healthy bones, helping you stand taller and lighter on your feet.
• Exercise helps with your coordination and reflexes, so you can catch and kick balls or balance on the jungle gym.
• Exercise helps to manage weight, keeping your body lean and healthy.
• Exercise decreases your risk of diseases or illnesses, it even boosts your immune system and can help you avoid getting a cold.
