Getting fit

Hello, my son is quite over weight, he's 10 years old and all he wants to do is play his xbox or ipad.  He has on interest in doing anything outside, like bugs or muck or grass.  We have a dog and sometimes he will go for a walk with him but other than that I can't get him to do anything.  If anyone has any ideas, I love to hear them.  Thanks 

  • It's not ideal but you could try getting the more 'active' games - you know, things with the Wii balance board - don't know if Microsoft equivalent? The Kinnect?

    Sports and dancing games would at least be not quite so passive.

    Or try and get him interested in a 'proper' sport? The structured social interaction can be good apparently?
