Why Is Exercise Important During This Time?

Exercise Boosts The Immune System
Research shows that regular, moderate-intensity exercise has immune-boosting benefits that may help children and adults to fight off infections, including COVID-19.

Exercise May Prevent Weight Gain
During the pandemic, families have fewer opportunities for exercise and may be forced to change their dietary habits. Exercise can help kids burn calories and offset the effects of sedentary activities.

Exercise Reduces Stress & Anxiety
Just like adults, children may also be experiencing stress, anxiety, and sadness during these challenging times. Exercise is a proven mood-booster and can help children reduce their stress levels and build emotional resilience.

When combined with a healthy diet, regular physical activity can help kids to stay fit while school is closed. Taking steps to minimize your child’s risk factors for childhood obesity during the COVID-19 pandemic — and all year long — will lay the foundation for a lifetime of good health.
