Fitness for Overweight Kids?

you did not mention how old is your kid and what is his height and weight.

but i think that buying any kind of gear won't necessarily help him.

if he is too young he is most probably not aware to his overweight problem.

even is he is being teased at school (kids can be very mean) it doesnt mean he fully understands what he is going through.

better than buying him stuff, i would suggest making an effort and spending more time with him resolving his issue.

taking him to a kids nutritionist that will be able to teach him what how to eat,

making a diet that will be suitable to the kids needs. it is also very important for the parent to learn those facts, because the kid is not the one making his meals.

i would also suggest spending time with the child doing sports activities, find out what he loves to play and play with him.

show your child you care like this will be the number 1 cause to make him lose weight.

buying him a treadmill/ dumbbells or a nintendo wii fit wil be good for the first week and will lose its magic very fast

hope my answer was helpful for you :)

Regular physical activity is a good start to address a kid that is overweight. But motivating them to exercise can be a challenge. The best option is to get them involved in sports activities, particularly where they are able to interact with other kids. Alternatively, with the variety of wii fit games that are now available as well as those by xbox and ps3, working out at home can be fun and effective.

You didn't mention, how old is your kid? If he/she is able to do some physical exercise, yoga then nothing better than it. Control his/her diet which is increase fats.

I would highly recommend you buy him a good barbell, dumbbell and bench set, along with a squat rack if you can afford it. Treadmills and elliptical machines are great but they won't allow your kid to establish a good muscular metabolic base from which to maintain a fit physique. In fact, with just a pair of dumbbells, your child can do a great workout called Optimized Circuit Training.  

Aware him/her for health disorders which may be increased by overweight. Impose him/her to do some exercise, whatever he/she is able to do and ask kid to avoid junk and fat foods. You can include fruits and vegetables in diet which have good vitamins. Get him enrolled in fitness classes as well as yoga.

Weight loss Exercises for Kids

• Regular activities like walking, running, jogging and skipping can be made into fun activities and included in your kid’s daily exercise regime. Take your kid to a nearby park. Assign signals to each activity like one clap for running, two claps for jogging, whistle for jumping. Give a particular command and the kid has to do the corresponding activity. Change signs every 2 days.
• Let your child create his own game or dance routine. The entire family can participate in it. This way the family works out together thus, helping the kid to remain involved and enjoy his workout session without getting distracted.
• Ever thought watching TV can be a weight loss exercise for kids? Well it can be. During the commercial breaks, plan a treasure hunt for him. Leave clues for him in various corners of the house. In the end, if he is successful, he gets an ice cream or a chocolate or his favorite dish. But remember to keep the portion size small.
• Trampoline is fun and the kids love it. Put one in the backyard and if space is a constraint, use a mini trampoline which can be easily adjusted in the house. Children can bounce, jog and run on it to lose weight. For more information read mini trampoline exercises.
• In addition to the regular sports like baseball and basketball, activities like rope jumping, Frisbee, ball catching are very effective weight loss exercises for kids. They can be conducted on alternate days so that it does not get tiresome or monotonous.
• Kids who don’t like sports can be made to learn a dance form, aerobic exercises or martial arts. These too, are weight loss exercises for overweight children.
