The British Heart Foundation has notably cautioned that only
one in eight kids is getting the recommended 60 minutes of exercise a day.
According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, children who are
aged 8 to 18 watch nearly 4.5 hours of television a day. On average, our
children spend 7 hours in front of media (TV, movies, computers, and video
games).
Research suggests that if the child gets into the habits of
exercising regularly, it will boost lifelong benefits—from improved life
skills, greater self-confidence, team involvement, to social inclusivity.
