To get your kids moving, find physical activities they can enjoy at their own pace -- and become active with them.

Once children hit puberty, and hormones make it possible to build muscle, weight training can become a part of a healthy exercise program for youths. Research suggests strength training has a lot to offer some teenagers in terms of health, fitness and fun.

Experts recommend children get at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity on most days to maintain good health and fitness and for healthy weight during growth.

Even if you live in the city, you can still get out for a walk together to a city park or to the store.

As concern grows over children's harmful weight, physical education gets less and less emphasis in many schools.

Like adults, children should be physically active most, if not all, days of the week.

It's important for parents to be aware of how much exercise their kids are getting so they can make adjustments.

Sports and other physical activities can help kids stay healthy and physically fit, but they also can result in injuries, such as scrapes and sprains.

The sport helps build strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular endurance. Its all-around fitness benefits make it a good springboard to other activities.
