what is better for my 9 year old overweight child-a treadmill or an exercise bike?

Answer
Neither, kids don't need to or want to do repetitive exercise like adults can force themselves to do. If you are smart you will try and find a real sport your child can enjoy so that they can interact with other children while also getting good exercise and learning to follow coach instructions and be competitive. There are lots of great sports out there (soccer, football, baseball, lacrosse, basketball, swimming, dance) so hopefully something will interest your child. As for the overweight part, if he/she is only a bit overweight its no concern as they are still growing. However, if quite a bit heavy then you should encourage better eating habits. Cut out the juice's/soda's/chips/fried foods and replace with natural choices like fruit, whole grains, veggies, skim milk and water.

Is the Acadia National Park good for biking - especially with kids 9 -10 years old?
