The Best Exercises for an Overweight Child

People often find my website using search phrases such as “Exercise plans for overweight children”, “Exercises for obesity”, or “Exercise DVD’s for overweight children”. So what are the best kinds of exercises for children—especially children who are overweight or lazy?  The answer is THE ONES THEY ENJOY!

Exercise should be fun for kids. They are not miniature adults, but parents often want to make them follow adult-type exercise programs. Some children, especially those who are extroverts, may enjoy team sports such as soccer, football, or volleyball. Very shy children or those who are introverts may avoid exercises that involve lots of other children. If they are self-conscious about their weight or starting puberty, they may avoid any team sport where they are forced to undress in front of their peers, fearing the teasing or stares that are sure to come.

The shy child might prefer an activity where he can spend more time with a parent, such as walking, jogging, riding bikes, shooting hoops, playing catch, rollerblading, bowling, or golf. Wearing a pedometer and keeping a pedometer journal will help motivate him to be more active. Try different activities with him, and see which ones he gets excited about. If he seems to be especially passionate about an activity such as golf, tennis, or ballroom dancing, arrange for a few private lessons if you can afford it.  You may see your child start to “blossom” right before your eyes!

Other activities your child might enjoy are martial arts (it teaches discipline too!), boxing, tap, ballet, or modern jazz dancing, or swimming.

If you need activities for indoors, try jumping rope or a video on hip hop dancing or Tai Chi.

According to a chart Exercise for weight loss: Calories burned in 1 hour on the Mayo Clinic website, the number of calories burned in 1 hour by a person weighing 160 pounds are:

·        Running – 986

·        Rollerblading – 913

·        Rope jumping or Tae Kwan do – 730

·        Stair treadmill – 657 (probably not much fun for a child!)

·        Jogging, 5mph; basketball game; football (touch, flag, general); or tennis singles-584

If your child is not already active, start with about 30 minutes of mild exercise every night and gradually increase the time and intensity of the activities. Have your child keep an exercise journal, writing down the activity, time spent, and how it made him feel (smiley face or sad face). Ask why he felt sad or happy doing the activity. Listen to his concerns without passing judgment.

By helping your child find physical activities he enjoys or can excel in, you are making a valuable contribution to his health and quality of life!

Any calories that we absorb and are unable to burn will turn into fat, the principle of losing weight is that we need to burn my calories than we intake, we need to diet as well as look at exercise after Gastric Banding Surgery to increase the calories we burn.

We need not join a gym straight after we finish our gastric banding surgery, we only need to start exercising very gently as not to damage your joints and muscles. However, as your excess weight comes off, physical exercise will become easier and you will also have a lot more energy and natural desire to be more active. You ultimate goal should be to take 30 minutes’ exercise per day. Start with small steps and short term goals and build on it from there.

When considering your exercise after you completed your gastric banding, it will be important to choose activities you like and which you will enjoy doing (swimming, walking, cycling etc.). Start slowly and gradually increase the pace of the exercise and the duration you are doing it.

For those who have had gastric banding and are not used to taking much exercise, walking is the best exercise of all and you may find it useful to purchase a pedometer or stepometer, which measures the distance you walk each day. The aim is to walk at least 10,000 steps per day, Sounds alt right? but this is the average person will be approximate five miles distance. The reason for using the pedometer for exercise is it will feedback if your under your required distance throughout the day, so you be able to adjust as the day goes by.

Here’s a list of simple activities that you can take in your normal routine:

When you only have a short distance to go, try walking or cycling rather than using the car. Get off the bus one stop before your destination and walk the rest. Do not use remote control for your TV, music system, etc. (take the batteries out if needs be!) – get up out of your chair to do it instead. Get yourself a dog or offer to take a neighbours dog for a walk each day Use the stairs rather than using the lift or escalator. Walk to the shop for you newspaper or milk rather than having it delivered. Don’t stockpile things at the bottom of the stairs to take up with you in the evening, gup and down the stairs in your home as often as possible during the day Get a Swiss ball (also called a ‘Fitball’) and sit on it when you use the telephone – keeping your balance will help to tone your bottom, tummy and thigh muscles! Exercise whether its after gastric banding surgery or not is good for both body and soul. Your joints will become firmer and more flexible, your muscles become stronger, your lungs are better able to take in oxygen, your circulation is stimulated and your digestive system works better. Exercise will also stimulates a feeling of well-being, you will feel less tired and weak, less stressed, more alert and you will have a sense of being in control of things.

You will realise that exercise after Gastric Banding Surgery will change your life for ever
