How much exercise should a boy from age 10-14 get each day?

I need to know how much exercise i should get each day because i dont think i get enough.THanks
Answer:
This is what I found :.According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the average child is watching about 3 hours of television a day. And the average kid spends 5 1/2 hours on all media combined, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.Parents need to ensure that their children are getting enough exercise. So, how much is enough? According to the 2005 dietary guidelines from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), all children 2 years and older should get AT LEAST 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise on most, preferably all, days of the week.
New dietary guidelines also suggest that kids eat more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains than in the past.
