According to the American Heart Association, children and teens should strive for at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity every day. This can include aerobic activities like running or swimming, muscle-strengthening exercises, and bone-strengthening exercises like jumping or running. In addition, children and teens should limit their sedentary time, including screen time, to no more than two hours per day. Encouraging children and teens to be active can help improve their overall health and wellbeing, reduce the risk of obesity, and improve their mental health.
