Kids should get daily exercise to be healthy, have a good lifestyle and overall improved motor coordination. When it rains, kids stay indoors so they don't get 30 minutes daily exercise. Some ways kids can incorporate exercise are playing climbing, swimming, running, etc.
Why should kids exercise at all?
First of all, physical activity makes strong muscles, bones and joints. It also improves quality and quantity of sleep among children. Research has proved that regular exercise enhances school attendance and academic performance. If kids exercise during their childhood, most likely, they will become a healthy adult. If children get exercise outdoors, they will get plenty of sunlight, thus vitamin D and fresh air.
