“Talented kids are everywhere. We just have to develop the means to identify them and then expose them to well-planned and methodical training.” Bompa .1985.
How do I choose the right exercise for my child?
The modern life and hectic lifestyle of many families nowadays is increasingly made up of driving, TV, video games, mobile phones, laptops and tablet computers , all of which add to the growing rate of sedentary lifestyles and health issues attached to that. Then there is the increasing consumption of convenience food which, more often than not, lacks the array of nutrients we require.
Busy parents are finding less and less time for recreation and making the right activity choices for their children.
And if they are not active themselves, it becomes even harder to encourage and inspire their offspring to adopt healthy, active habits. When discussing children’s health these days , people frequently mention words like stress, obesity, heart disease. The reason is that fitness is far from a priority in the everyday lives of many children.
How to decide which exercise and activity, is right for your child and how to fit it into your everyday schedules…
- The most important thing to remember is – your child is an individual and unique, so what works for other children might not necessarily engage your child.
- Genetics and your personal example does matter!
