A healthy body leads to a healthy mind. Health and fitness are a top priority in most people’s lists. In this dynamic world, where many are becoming increasingly conscious about how they look, hitting the gym for regular exercises has become a part of the routine. Even ace chess master, Viswanathan Anand, gives importance to physical fitness as it helps him keep himself mentally fit. He says, “I attend to my fitness. I go the gym every day and try to maintain my physical fitness; without that, it is tough to take challenges on the chess board.”

Fitness is equally important for children as well. It keeps them active and healthy, helping them focus better on their academics. An article titled Be a fit kid published in Kidshealth suggests, 'Being fit is a way of saying a person eats well, gets a lot of physical activity (exercise), and has a healthy weight. If you're fit, your body works well, feels good, and can do all the things you want to do, like run around with your friends'.

While there are things that children should do, there are also certain steps that only parents can take to ensure their child stays fit. According to the same article, 'Some steps only parents can take — such as serving healthy meals or deciding to take the family on a nature hike. But kids can take charge, too, when it comes to health'.
