Exercise in schools Erin, Dave

Exercise is an important factor in staying healthy. Just like most of your body you're heart is a muscle and it needs exercise to stay strong and healthy. Children in the US are not getting the required amount of exercise to stay healthy nestatistics believe kids should get around 60 minutes a day. Our physical education programs are not being productive enough for our kids and also the kids are not having enough opportunities to get the required amount of exercise. Obesity rates have tripled over thirty years, which increase the chance for cardio vascular disease. Exercising can help lower cholesterol, blood pressure, and also weight. Kids are not receiving the required amount of exercise per week and that can be due to last of physical activity in schools, low amounts of extracurricular clubs and games, and the restriction of schools. Some kids only exercise in gym educational physical educational systems are not getting th most out it then the kids will not meet the required amount of exercise to remain healthy. Kids are being restricted to the amount of exercise with the lack of extra curricular physical activities given to the kids such as after school kickball or a dance club. Kids need to get the required amount of exercise so they can stay healthy and reduce the amount of obesity among our children.
