April Is National Child Abuse Prevention Month - 30 Tips and Facts in 30 Days

With certainty, fattening kids up by making them overweight/obese is child abuse.

Nutritional child abuse is the most common form of child abuse of which we are aware. About one-third of all kids are overweight or obese. April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month in the USA. To help these children, who are arguably the most abused on earth, Fitness Watch will offer 30 tips and facts – one for each day in April – directed at saving the children. Even if you are not from the USA, these facts and tips can help you and your children, too.

Today’s Fact and Tip – Because you have almost certainly been brainwashed by Big Media, Big Sick Care, Big Government, etc., you may not believe this, but exercise is a terribly inefficient way to lose weight.

It is also almost impossible to improve fitness simply by exercising.

To improve fitness, you have to TRAIN. This is much more intense a form of physical activity than simple exercise.

It is good to instill a culture of physical activity in children. It is best to teach them the correct way to accomplish goals.

If the goal is fitness, then the only way to achieve it is by engaging in intense physical activity, i.e., training.

Here is the tip. Despite all the dumbing down of things to be politically correct and telling children that it is good if all they do is simply participate, do your children one better.

Teach them to compete.

Teach them that it is simply not enough to “Just do it.”

Teach them to do things, including physical activity, in order to succeed.

Leave failure to others.
