How to keep kids active and energetic

It’s every parents’ dream to see their child excel & grow up to be successful. But at times we tend to undermine the most important catalyst to that lifetime success – #Fitness & a healthy lifestyle

Here are few key tips to ensure the child is not only fit but is also inculcated with healthy habits that help his fitness lifelong:

• Encouraging your child to participate in variety of activities & games that fit his personality, ability, age, & interests. Most importantly discuss with him on what activity he feels is right

• Mixing aerobic activities where kids use large muscles like hamstrings, back, & chest. Activities can be running, swimming and dancing

• Also, activities focused at strengthening muscle & bone must be incorporated at least 3 days a week. Some examples of weight-bearing activities are climbing, yoga, jumping, active sport (Abeer, my son, plays football). Besides this it is important to focus on a diet that is rich in calcium & vitamin D

• Additionally, make sure to keep the kids active at home by:
  • Keeping family active by making physical activity part of the daily routine like carrying out household chores, after-dinner walk etc
  • Allowing time for free play - Kids can burn more calories & have more fun when left to their own imagination
  • Keeping equipment handy; assortment of balls, hurdles, hula-hoops, & jump ropes will do the trick
  • Kids love to play along with their parents, play along with them, be active together
  • Limiting sedentary activities, such as watching TV, using e-devices, etc

Along with helping kids live a healthy life, as parents it also becomes important to financially secure their dreams with a robust financial tool like life insurance

With the right steps, you can prepare your kid for a healthy life ahead & secure their dreams, because Agaar taiyaari sahi ho, toh jeet paaki hai
