Aerobic exercise like cycling is fantastic for children's health, both mental and physical. But how much should they be cycling and exercising to reap the benefits?
Children over the age of 5 should be outside and moving for at least 60 minutes a day. Remember this includes playing with the dog, riding their bikes or going for a family walk. But keeping the little ones entertained can be tough. Not only will a bike improve their health, it’ll also:
• Teach them important life skills
• Increase their energy levels
• Boost creative skills and thinking
• Build social skills and interactions
Cycling is a great way to teach your child about responsibility. Teach them to check their wheels and brakes before every ride and teach them to wash and look after their bikes after every ride.
