What kind of exercise can children do to lose weight?

Today's children have become little emperors of the family. They get whatever they want and eat whatever they want, which ultimately leads to overnutrition, excess fat and continuous weight gain. This is also caused by excessive pampering of parents. Seeing their children getting fatter and fatter, parents begin to look for ways to help their children lose weight. In my opinion, the best way to lose weight is exercise. Let me introduce to you several methods of exercise suitable for children to lose weight.

1. Stair climbing exercise. Climbing stairs consumes more energy because in addition to the energy consumed by exercise, you also have to overcome your own gravity. For example, climbing 10 floors is equivalent to lifting a body weight of more than 100 kilograms to a height of 30 meters. This part of energy consumption is quite large. It has been determined that the energy consumed by going up and down stairs is 5 times that of walking and 2.5 times that of swimming. Obese people have poor athletic and coordination abilities and should pay attention to safety. When exercising, you should concentrate, keep your eyes looking forward, lift your feet neatly and accurately, and land your feet steadily, accurately and slowly.

2. Brisk walking exercise. Walking is a form of exercise, but due to insufficient exercise volume, it often cannot achieve the requirements of weight loss and fitness. However, brisk walking is different. According to tests, the energy consumed by brisk walking is twice that of walking to complete the same distance. The walking distance and speed can be controlled by the heart rate after exercise. Generally, the heart rate should not exceed 150% of the resting heart rate. Take bigger steps, and each step for children over 13 years old and adults should be no less than 70 cm. Raise your head slightly, lean your upper body forward slightly, and relax your shoulders; swing your arms forward and upward as much as you can, breathe evenly, and concentrate your energy; when taking a step, move your center of gravity from the heel to the toes first, and be strong and powerful.

3. In the daily life of obese children, sweeping, folding bedding, washing dishes, etc. should be included as part of physical activities. This is also a more suitable method of exercise therapy for obese children.

I believe that after reading the above exercise weight loss methods, parents will have a certain understanding of how to help their children lose weight. However, exercise requires persistence. You cannot give up just because you see your child suffering. You cannot just exercise without changing your child’s eating habits. Finally, the editor hopes that obese children can lose weight successfully.
