Why Kids Should Get Out & Run!

Encouraging kids from a young age to live an active and healthy lifestyle helps to guide a lifelong habit. From the time they are little, kids pick up the act of running. Why not encourage it as a fun activity the older they get? Here are some quick tips as to why running is simply the best!


  1. First and foremost, running is FUN! It lets kids release that built up energy they gain throughout the day. Instead of them sitting and watching TV, why not let them run around. It’s something they can do solo or with their friends!
  2. Second, running is extremely affordable. Whether they run barefoot through the grass, or lace up a pair of sneakers to run around the park, there is little price tag on this great activity.
  3. Third, there is little to no cause for confusion in this activity. Whether they simply do it as a recreational activity or join the track or cross country team, all they really need to know is look straight ahead and make sure your shoe laces are tied!
  4. Lastly, running helps kids with their aerobic conditioning. It allows them to develop a base, gain some stamina and assist with strength development to help them in other aspects of their life.

Running is simply the greatest and these tips help to encourage a lifelong habit of healthy living!
