My 9 year old can't even do 3 minutes!

We tried to do 3 minutes yesterday, and he couldn't keep up! He's skin and bones, but eats like crazy. I think we need to have more exercise, fewer computer games :)

My 6 year old is the same way, although I can't say she's skin and bones. I don't get it either because she is always so active. Any tips on getting kids at this age more in shape?

here's a few things to keep kids in shape:
-plan a family walk a couple nights a week (family time and healthy time)
-limit time spent on tv, video games, etc. plan activities that use the brain!
-enforce a routine (has your child wanted a puppy? get him one and work in feeding and WALKING the dog in the daily routine)
-enroll your kid in sport programs and other thing to keep up the interaction w/ other active kids
-most importantly, set a good example

If he is skin and bones that is great at that age his muscles are not the same as yours he will have to build up to it but keep in mind his body has a good metabolism so don’t worry.
