The guidelines say at least **3 days a week** should include vigorous activity that strengthens muscles and bones: running, jumping, skipping, climbing and swinging on monkey bars. The talk test ### Moderate vs vigorous **Moderate:** they can talk but not sing (brisk walking, bike riding, playground games). **Vigorous:** out of breath, only a few words at a time (running, soccer, basketball, swimming laps). How we help ### Built into every session Sprints, jumps, agility work and fast-paced games, coached and progressed each term. Every 60–90 minute session is packed with the vigorous, bone-building activity kids need.
