Family fitness
Many children do not get the exercise they want . US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recommend that children and teens get at least 60 minutes of physical activity a sun time.
Video, TV, and computer games are sedentary behaviors that require limited restraint to help your child become more active. This slide is designed to help your baby get up and move.
You and your baby are more likely to exercise if you set aside time for your day. Schedule physical activity, and set a pattern for the behaviors you want your child to follow.

Support physical education programs in schools
Physical education (PE) in schools can help children become more active, but many states state have limited programs that require time. Be your child's moderator and let the school administration know that you need PE as part of your child's curriculum.
Plan your vacations, weekends, and holidays around the fun of exercise
Holidays and vacations can be combined with activities that allow the whole family to move. Ride a bike, hike, swim, or even play at the playground. Make the activity fun and positive and encouraging.
Utilize community resources
Your local community may have many things to keep your child active. Your local park and recreation department or local YMCA may offer tennis, golf, swimming, basketball, or other exercise opportunities.

Get the whole village involved
When the whole neighborhood gets involved, everyone wants to get involved! It becomes a fun social activity for families when the neighborhood plans a sporting event such as a football or basketball game, or even a scratch hunt.
Dance!
Dancing is an easy activity to do, and it does not feel like an exercise - it just feels fun! Find a song your child likes, or play something you enjoy, and teach them other dance moves.
Get your child involved in a variety of physical activities and sports
Try a variety of activities or sports until your child finds something they enjoy. Involve them in many different activities so they do not get bored with one.
