15 minutes of exercise can help kids slim down
It may not take a lot a time for kids to slim down--just 15 minutes a day according to a new study. Researchers tagged 5,500 children with motion sensor devices and found those who exercised most were the least likely to be obese and that short burst of intense activity seemed to be the most helpful. The study showed that kids who spent just 15 minutes a day engaged in moderate activity were 50 percent less likely than inactive children to be obese.
