16 Hudson Valley Parent n August 2014 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!
