Ideally, how often should kids be active for?

My child is mostly sedentary, and plays video games by himself and stays in the house. How often should kids be active for? How many hours of activity should they get?

60 minutes per day!!
More time active than playing video games.
Greetings! Children should be physically active for 60 minutes/daily.
Every day. Ask the pediatrician for how long minimum
The more the better! Ideally at least 90 minutes/day. Limit video games/TV/sedentary to 30-60 minutes day.
Some these days are saying just an hour a day hoping to get the kid off the couch at least some. I like 2 -4 hours a day.
Should probably get 60 minutes per day
