What are the Health Risks of a Child/Teen’s Inactive Lifestyle?

Encouraging kids to exercise is not an easy task. More and more kids avoid regular physical play or activity and are choosing to spend their time online. These sedentary lifestyle choices have a drastic impact on the health of today’s youth. Statistics from the Center for Disease Control declared that up 18.5% of American children and teens are suffering from childhood obesity[i], which increases their chances of becoming obese adults by 39.8%[ii]. Along with obesity, mood disorders like anxiety and depression are on the rise.

Young people who do not take part in a healthy lifestyle are also more susceptible to health risks like:

• High Blood Pressure
• Heart Disease
• Diabetes
• Mood Disorders like Depression and Anxiety
• Increased Risk of Suicide
• High Cholesterol
• Skin Disorders

Pick the Time & Place to Exercise!

Finding the time to train can be especially tricky for today’s youth. Many children and teens have even more hectic schedules than their adult counterparts. Before a young athlete can work out, they often have to carve time out around school, extracurricular activities, sport’s schedules, family time, and homework. What’s even trickier about their schedules is they often must rely on others, like their parents, to find room in their calendars to enable a quality fitness routine.

This is why working with the staff at Traveling Trainers is perfect for helping children and teens get the valuable training they deserve. Our personal trainers will travel throughout the Kansas City metro area to bring the workout to them. We can meet with them at their home, the park, or any other location that fits their schedule. We want to help them develop into their best selves through establishing a lifestyle of health and fitness.
