Kids' fitness levels are dragging. Only one in four American schoolchildren gets an adequate amount of physical activity each day. The number of overweight children is rising rapidly.

Almost 13 percent of 6 to11 year olds are obese. Importantly, children who don't get at least 35 to 60 minutes of walking or other exercise each day can also miss their chance to build the strong bones they will need later in life.

The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) reminds all kids: "Get up, get out and get moving!" Many kids need a lifestyle change from sedentary to physically active. Don't sit in front of a computer or TV for hours. Instead, get some exercise every day. Bones grow in size and strength during childhood. The bone mass you gain through physical activity while you're young helps determine your skeletal health throughout life.

In addition to building stronger bones, regular physical activity outdoors and indoors also strengthens the heart and lungs, our Carpet Skates will help your little boy lower blood pressure, improve muscle strength and flexibility, reduce stress and depression, help control weight and improve his sleep.

Childhood is a critical time for developing lifestyle habits that support bone health. Osteoporosis drains away bone's calcium. So young people should put deposits into their "bone banks" of at least 1,300 mg of calcium each day. Calcium comes in dairy foods. These include milk, yogurt and cheese, and green, leafy vegetables such as spinach and broccoli.

Carpet Skates are the perfect for little boys of all ages to develop motor and physical skills.
