How to Get in Shape Before School Starts
Summer vacations is the favourite time of the year for many students, as they do not have to worry about getting up early for school or completing homework. On the contrary, they spend the day playing and basically having fun. The hot weather, however, can often lead to a reduction in physical activity, which consequently results in a child putting on extra pounds.
If you have been relatively inactive during the course of the summer vacations and consequently put on some extra pounds, you would definitely be looking to get back in shape before the school starts again. For youngsters, losing weight is not a problem, though a solid commitment and strong resolve is an important pre-requisite.
