With game consoles and the Internet, children are playing as much as they always have - but now, they sit still while doing it. Kids spend as much time watching TV, using computers and playing video games as they spend in school each week. 303 KID-APPROVED EXERCISES AND ACTIVE GAMES helps 6-8 year old kids get off their chairs with fun and age-appropriate exercises. Exercise for children must be fun. These exercises have been used for personal training sessions, kids fitness classes, kids fitness camps, birthday parties and in schools; they have all been "Kid-Approved!." Kimberley Wechsler, a specialist in Kid's Fitness, took into account the fundamental attributes of being a child while developing these exercises. Children have specific physiologic differences that make them unique. They grow, mature and develop skills at different ages, so what may be skill appropriate for one child could be harmful for another child. These exercises reflect the emotional, social, physical level of this age group. 303 KID-APPROVED EXERCISES AND ACTIVE GAMES supports children's energy and directs it in a positive way; the activities take advantage of a child's natural tendency to be active with unstructured or free play. 303 KID-APPROVED EXERCISES AND ACTIVE GAMES develops intellectual, emotional and social skills for children, all the while promoting an active and healthy lifestyle.
