My kids have always been fairly active. One of my girls, a competitive swimmer, swims 12 to 15 hours per week, and sometimes I worry that she's exercising too much. Her coach assures us that she could and should be working out more, in order to be truly competitive. Frankly, I think it's more important that she's having fun.
But how much is too much? How much is enough? The New York Times recently published an article entitled How Much Exercise Do Children Need? by Gina Kolata. I was surprised by how much we still don't know about what affects childhood activity has into adulthood. Have a look.
