Clapham kids
have a lot of opportunities to get
some exercise - football, tennis, gymnastics,
swimming, ice
skating or just running about on
Clapham Common.
When most adults think about
exercise, they imagine working out in the gym on a
treadmill or lifting weights. But for children, exercise
means playing and being physically active. Kids exercise
when they do gym at school, football practice, dance
class, swimming, riding bikes, or just running around in
the park. Among children, the rates
of obesity have tripled during the last 20 years. One in
10 six-year-olds is obese.
Experts say that children should
exercise between 60 and 90 minutes a day. Get them
outside and active!
