Exe Exams For Children
Around the age of 3, children should have an eye exam.
Before beginning kindergarten, they should have their eyes examined again.
Children should have their eyes examined every 1-2 years throughout childhood and adolescence. Your child's pediatrician may be able to do this at regular check-ups. Talk to him/her for more information. (Having your child's examined at school by a school nurse is not enough.)

Beginners Workout Guide
1.Start slowly. Begin with 10 or 15 minutes of exercise 3 or 4 days a week. Add 5 minutes to your workout each week until you are doing 30-45 minutes of exercise at least 5 days a week, the recommended minimum to reduce the risk for cancer.
2.Begin with something low impact; like walking, Yoga, biking or swimming. This reduces your risk for injuries not only when you workout, but also helps you prevent injuries in your daily life.
3.Don't overdo it. You are less likely to continue to exercise consistently and more likely to hurt yourself.

Workout Even When You Don't Have Time
When you don't have time to exercise, do several, short sprints for a couple of minutes. Intense bursts of energy help your body to burn fat, lose weight and prevent you from losing muscle. (When working out for long periods of time, it's also highly recommended to increase the intensity for short periods of time throughout your exercise routine. This allows your body to continue burning calories long after your workout is over.)
Go Outside For More Effective Exercise
Take advantage of the warm weather to do your cardio exercise outside. This prevents your body from adjusting to routines, allowing you to have a more effective workout, build more muscles and lose weight faster.
