Exercise Games For Obese Children
Obese children can grow into normal-weight, active children with more exercise and proper nutrition.
Obese children lay the foundation for disastrous health in adulthood in their childhood. As a mother alone, it is up to you to prevent this, for example by encouraging your child to exercise more.
Obese children health risk
Obese children are anything but “cute” and “that little bit of baby fat” will not grow out either if they continue to be raised by their parents to eat incorrectly and do not exercise enough.
Do whatever you can to ensure that your child is, remains, or becomes of normal weight, because obese children are a health risk to themselves.
Obese children often develop diabetes II at a young age, which was formerly known as “old age sugar”, but today has little to do with age, but rather with malnutrition and obesity. Obese children put stress on their joints at an early age, so they can run into problems as young adults.
Therefore encourage your child to exercise more and make sure that they are nourished healthily with little animal fat, little sugar and sweets, without ready meals, fast food and “children’s meals”, but with lots of fruit and vegetables.
The following exercise sports and exercise games could be considered:
Outdoor exercise games ideal for obese children
Obese children are mostly couch potatoes. Getting them out into the fresh air is the first step, keeping them moving outside is the second step. Try the following exercise games with several children:
- To catch
- Sapling, sapling, take turns
- Fischer, how deep is the water?
- Hüppeebox / Heaven and Hell
- Trip to Jerusalem
Many of these games can also be played on children’s birthday parties. How about if you have a birthday party as an Olympics and the winner is chosen in all movement games?
Martial arts for obese children
Obese children often suffer from teasing from their classmates. Martial arts give such children more self-confidence, although you always have to make it clear to them that what you learn in martial arts must never be used against other children.
In martial arts, the entire body muscles are trained, but mostly in a way that is gentle on the joints. Martial arts promote body tension and concentration and lead to better body control.
Soccer
The number one sport among boys and ideal for melting childish rolls of bacon. In football, coordination, team spirit and stamina are trained, your child’s cardiovascular system is strengthened and they can improve their social skills as an integral part of a team.
swim
Every child, obese or not, should learn to swim for their own safety. The better your child can swim, the less afraid they will be of water.
Swimming is also an ideal sport for obese children and adults, as there is little stress on the joints.
In addition, the water in the swimming pool removes additional energy from the body through heat loss, because the water will have a lower temperature than the body temperature of the swimmer and thus ensure a higher calorie requirement.
Jumping rope
Jumping rope promotes your child’s coordination and stamina. Do you remember songs that you used to sing while jumping rope?
Jumping rope works alone or with three friends, with one or two ropes. There are many games where jumping rope is a central element, google it!
Hoola hoop
Children can quickly circle a ring around the middle of their body, but if you watch videos on YouTube, you will see that there are real professionals in this sport!
Hoola Hoop makes you flexible and trains the child’s coordination. Increase the level of difficulty by letting the child spin the tire while running, clapping, singing, etc.
Rubber twist
It doesn’t matter whether you call it “rubber hop” or “rubber twist”. Your child only needs a long elastic, which is already the piece of sports equipment when knotted together. You can play alone with chairs or tables or with other children as a competition.
If you don’t remember all the jumping games with the rubber band, the internet can help. Rubber twist strengthens the condition and leg muscles of your child. Just 20 minutes a day can have a big effect.
To dance
Your child is not musical? It can learn that! In the past, children danced and played singing games without the guidance of adults.
If you raise your child musically, they will have fun dancing with other children. It doesn’t have to be ballet, it can be any other dance style your child likes.
