President's Council experts say American children lack activity. Last year tests show 40 percent of boys aged 6 to 12 cannot perform more than one pull-up, while many ages 6 to 15 cannot reach toes in a flexibility test. Seven in ten girls ages 6 to 17 fail the 50-yard dash, with several ages lagging behind 1975 tests.
The council offers exercises to keep kids fit with an hour of daily activity. Corkscrew Toe Walk improves flexibility and coordination with a knee bend and a forward and backward walk. Donkey Kick strengthens arms shoulders and coordination by lifting hips and kicking both feet out then returning to start.
