Fitness for Your Pre-Teen and Why It's So Important

Article Category: Family Concerns

Author Name: Russell (Rusty) Hart

The U.S. Centers for Disease Prevention discovered that 60% of children between the ages of 9 and 13 do no organized physical activity outside of school. 23% of children from ages 9 to 13 engage in no free time physical activities either. It's true that many children this age have a lot of homework - nevertheless, it's important to be active. Here are some tips for fitness for your pre-teen and why it's so important.

Exercise Is No Longer a Built-In Part of the Day

Today's middle-aged adults may find themselves fighting a stubborn middle-age spread. Former high school track stars have evolved into busy parents who juggle careers and families and it's hard to keep up the fitness levels we once had. But when we were young, many of us were more active. We rode bikes to our friends' houses and spent hours running around and playing outside. If we wanted to watch a movie, we had to actually get up and go to a theater or make a trip to the video rental store. If we wanted to play video games, many of us went to an arcade often traveling by bike to get there.

Compare that to today's kids, who have everything they need for hours of entertainment conveniently located in their family computer or smartphone. Even buying things can be done with the click of a mouse. As a result, today's kids are inherently more sedentary than past generations. The exercise we got naturally through bike rides to our friends' houses and playing outside are not a necessary part of their daily life. Exercise has to be planned, fitted in. It's an additional activity, not a natural part of the process.

Set Up Healthy Habits

Establishing fitness habits at an early age can lay the foundation for a lifetime of healthy habits. A pre-teen is still malleable. The habits you instill now as a parent are habits that will continue with your child for a lifetime. If you teach your children the importance of being active and your child and your family lead an active lifestyle, your children will simply get in the habit of running, exercising, and keeping fit. And this habit will be likely to continue through college and adulthood.

Fitness Is Psychologically Important

Pre-teens are in the awkward years. Exercise can boost confidence, release endorphins, reduce that antsy pent-up energy kids this age get, alleviate tension, and boost confidence. Whether the confidence comes from knowing your child can outrun a bully or whether from knowing he or she is healthy, strong and fit, fitness is a definite bonus. Who wouldn't want to equip their child with extra confidence as you send them to middle school?

Improve Grades

Studies have shown that children who are active in their pre-teen years from age eleven were specified do better on some academic tests. They also found that these kids continue to do well on tests several years later because they exercised when they were eleven.

There are many reasons establishing a habit of fitness for your pre-teen is an important move. Not only will your child gain a foundation of healthy living if you establish fitness habits at an early age, but she will also benefit from cardiovascular health, improved grades, a surge in confidence and psychological well-being.

Whether you encourage your child to take part in a school sport, an independent activity such as biking or martial arts or simply encourage her to ride her bike, run or help with yard care, encouraging your child to be active will make a big difference in her life.
