Usually children do not like to join such fitness exercise, so it would be a good option if parents themselves take them to gymnasiums, swimming pool, parks etc. so they can get habitual of physical workouts in the supervision of elders. It will reduce the chances of any harmful effects. Parents should also encourage their kids to participate in Dance classes; Skating, team or pair sports such as, Tennis, Badminton, Soccer and Basketball etc. these games and extra activities are also a part of fitness for both mind and body. It helps children to work in social environment, increase sportsman spirit and make them smart and active.


Making children aware about health and fitness could be a tough task. Therefore, it is advised to make the children fitness activities more fun base and according to the interests of children.
