What better time to begin a young person’s active interest in sport and fitness than summer 2012. Just an hour of moderate exercise per day – can according to the British Medical Association, transform a child’s life, and their health.
Frequent activity can help stop weight gain, prevent diabetes, joint problems, high blood pressure and heart problems that may occur in later life as well as:
• Encourages strong bones and muscles
