To help make sure that kids get enough exercise, encourage physical activity all day long.

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommends:

• Having a physical education class in school each day for at least 30 minutes. This should be supplemented with classes such as dance or swimming, either inside or outside of school.
• Taking kids outdoors to explore the backyard, neighborhood or park.
• Organizing fun activities, such as “Simon Says” or a backyard game of soccer or basketball.
• Getting your child involved in organized sports.
• Walking or biking to school together, if possible.
