Gulf Indian High School, Dubai Department of Physical Education Workout Routine for Overweight /Obese children s GRADES 4 12 Best Workouts for Overweight Beginners Beginner Exercises foroverweight /Obesechildren Almost one in three children is overweight or obese, according to the American Heart Association in 2010. In addition to developing increased risks for diabetes, high cholesterol and heart disease, obese children suffer from a variety of psychological and social problems. Creating an exercise program that burns calories, builds muscles and that kids enjoy will help you reduce the serious consequences of obesity for your child. Cardiovascular Considerations Obesity in children often is the result of a sedentary lifestyle. Asking children to elevate their heart rates to a heightened aerobic exercise rate for 30 minutes or longer may be dangerous. Start with an exercise pace that resembles a brisk walk, rather than a jog. Warm up slowly for the first few minutes, let children take breaks as needed and make sure they drink water whenever they become thirsty.
Physical Stress Obese children may develop joint or back pain if they perform repetitive, high-impact exercise, which has both feet leaving the ground at the same time. Examples of this would be running, aerobic dancing, jumping jacks or jumping rope. Even a nonimpact workout, such as on an elliptical machine, might cause knee and back problems because the child's full weight is on her legs the entire time. Look for exercises that don't put constant weight or repeated impact on the child's legs, feet and hips.

You can change the water depth as you go, increasing and decreasing resistance and impact for a more varied workout.
