Keep your kids fit while having fun
Family life
W
ith smart phones,
TV and video games
everywhere we turn,
inactivity is rampant. Inspiring
action from kids is not always an
easy task. Here are some great tips
to keep kids healthy and fit without
sacrificing fun!
Go on family bike rides
Biking is a great bonding activity
for the whole family, as well as great
exercise! Have a destination in mind,
such as a yogurt shop or the local
park to make the experience that
much more fun for the kids.
Keep them busy outdoors
In the summer, a sprinkler can
provide hours of entertainment for
young kids. If you enjoy gardening,
involve your children and allow
them to care for their own plants.
Have designated
computer/TV time
By having a designated allowance
for time spent on the computer or TV,
you're teaching your children to find
other ways to have fun without de-
priving them of personal downtime.
Get involved!
Don't tell your kids to go play
outside and then plop yourself down
on the couch to watch TV. Instead,
go join them outside — read a book,
water the plants or simply take a
walk and enjoy the weather!
