We all know that the playground is the most natural place for a young child while
growing up and being involved in activity is a natural instinct that comes from a
young age. It is not taught to us but genetically inherited and present in our young
ones but these activities are dying out. Even if kids have the time and the desire
to be active, parents may not feel comfortable letting them freely roam the
neighborhood as kids once did. So their opportunities might be limited.
The government's physical activity guidelines recommend that children and teens
do an hour or more of moderate-intensity to vigorous activity a day. The „medicine
institute‟ advises that at least 30 minutes, or about half the daily physical activity,
be done during the school day. However, only 17% of students are meeting the
goal of target of 60 minutes a day.
Head teachers asked, “How can schools get children more active without
breaking their budgets? “They can‟t”. “The increase on teachers, lack of funds
and cut backs means parents need to step in and get their own children active”.

What might not be apparent is that activities releases endorphins in the body that are the
body‟s natural feel good chemicals, and when they are released through exercise, your
mood is boosted naturally. As well endorphins, activity also releases adrenaline, serotonin,
and dopamine. These chemicals work together to make you feel good and increase
attention and activity in the brain. There are a few simple steps to help keep your child
focused and happy, even if you‟re not around. Taking part in some adventure cycling or
booking activity holidays rather than your normal beach holiday can be a really fun way for
the whole family to get active.
Activity holidays are not expensive and can sometimes be far cheaper than your average
package holiday deal and include all the equipment you require. Booking holiday rentals
directly with the owners has become increasingly popular as people realize they can skip
out the agent and book directly, saving hundreds off the cost of a holiday.

If you can ride a bike then adventure cycling is a great way to start getting
active. Saddle up and peddle your way around the coastline, family in tow, stop for a picnic,
sunbathe and more. Adventure cycling is one of the most popular activity holidays taken in
the UK and businesses are cashing in. Hotels and apartment owners are letting their
properties as holiday rentals to get extra income in the current credit crisis. An average
weekend stay can earn the property owner a few hundred pounds and equally save the
customer money, so this is winning.
By getting the whole family involved on an holiday will create a
solid grounding for your child that exercise and activities are fun and above all, normal.
Lying by the pool sipping Pina colada sounds good but your child wants to be active with
you, so bonding and creating important memories for later life can increase the chances
they continue down this path.

Whatever your child‟s fitness personality, all kids can be physically fit. A parent's positive
attitude will help a child who's reluctant to exercise. You need to be involved too. If your
child is not the type to run around, that‟s fine, find something they are interested in like
horse riding lessons.
There are many horse riding centers that will cater for complete beginners,
supply the hats and boots so you have no excuses not to get them on the saddle. This type
of activity will help to keep your child focused and because it‟s an interest to them they will
get active without even knowing about it.
Horse riding lessons increases strong muscles and bones, controls
weight, and decreases the risk of developing type two diabetes, aids better sleep, a better
outlook on life and more. You can quickly see why this hour-long activity can be a great
benefit for not only your child‟s confidence but also wellbeing.
Healthy, physically active kids will be more academically motivated, alert, and successful in
the classroom. Physical competence builds self-esteem at every age even in older life, so
bypass the pool holiday this summer and book activity holidays, it could make your child‟s
pass a distinction.
