Good cardiovascular health? Not for MY child!
What caring parent would say that? Not a one. Still, that's the de facto statement of moms and dads who don't get their kids moving. According to the US Department of Health, kids aged 6 - 17 need one hour of physical activity a day - most of it in the form of moderate-to-intense aerobic exercise. http://www.health.gov/paguidelines/federalresources.aspx
Adults (ages 18-64) need approximately half that to enjoy health benefits including a lower risk for:
- early death
- heart disease
- stroke
- colon and breast cancers
Seniors (ages 65 and up) should follow the same adult guidelines, but also seek to maintain or improve coordination and balance, especially if they're prone to falling.
Kids can build strong bones and emotional health - and adults can help to maintain theirs - if they exercise every day. Let the SJCC help! Enroll in one of our fitness programs today!
