Kids Who Play Sports Aren’t Exercising As Much As You Think

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain that your kid might not be exercising as much as you think when he/she plays a team sport. Research shows that kids who play team sports are only actually moving, burning calories and exercising about half the time they are there. FYI this includes practices as well as the actual games. Soccer is the best team sport in terms of exercise time. And free play is much better for getting kids to move more and be more active. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.
