Answer 9

turn on some music and dance daily...play sports with him...dont let him consume any fastfood,junkfood or sugary drinks

Answer 10

shooting hoops, skateboarding, flag football, soccer, martial arts, throwing frisbee, tossing a football around the yard, heck even walking the dog around the block! The point is, he has to get moving. Maybe he might like one of those indoor games on the WII or DDR or something.

Anything that gets his heart rate up for 30 minutes most days of the week will do wonders. It doesnt have to be something boring or tedious. Get a group of friends together and go play a sport together. He will have fun and  be exercising and it is age appropriate.

Answer 11
