A primary reason why being active is ultra-important for kids is health-related. Kids who don’t spend enough time being active (and instead sit in front of screens) are liable to have increased risk of heart disease, high cholesterol, obesity, and other diseases. Screen time has understandably been given a bad rap and extended time spent on screened devices is often equated with a sedentary lifestyle, but fitness apps combine the best of both worlds. That is why getting kids involved in being active via fitness, exercise, and workouts is crucial. One way to prevent inactivity is making fitness and exercise fun for kids, by embracing elements of technology. Since most kids nowadays have smartphones, it may be wise to embrace that facet of technology to encourage more physical activity among kids.
