Fitness - 2 & 3 Year Olds

Kids this age are learning to master basic movements like walking, running, kicking, and throwing. They're naturally active, so be sure to provide lots of opportunities for your child to practice and build on these skills.

How much is enough? According to the National Association of Sports and Physical Education, each day toddlers should:

    * get at least 30 minutes of structured physical activity (adult-led)
    * get at least 60 minutes unstructured physical activity (free play)
    * not be inactive for more than 1 hour at a time (except for sleeping)
