Stay slim and healthy by playing with your kids

Save Tip

If you have the responsability over a child or children, getting to the gym is not always possible. However, there is no better way to saty fit and healthy, and to set a GREAT example than by playing with your kids.
Make it a point to go biking and/or rollerblading with them regularly. Take them to the park and run around with them, don't just sit and watch.
Take your kids for nice evening walks, which can be great if you have a dog too.
Play soccer in a field, even if the 2 of you are just kicking the ball around.
All this activity will keep you in shape, get you and the kid(s) fresh air, and teach them to live an active healthy lifestyle.
It is also recommended to treat them to healthy snacks, like fresh fruit and yogurt or frozen yogurt as opposed top chocolate bars, candy and ice cream.

	“ There is no better time than running around a park with a 6 year old and a 2 year old... they have fun, I have fun, we are all being active and it is WAY BETTER THAN TV!!! ”

	“ If my clients tried to follow my 7 year old around for 10 minutes...they'd drop! ...now that I think of it....so would I! Working out as a family is so incredibly important. Great post. ”

	“ Runningbear, as usual I am in full agreement. You have no clue the benefits of rollerblading as a family. Its great exercise, very fun, teaches the kids to be active, and its bonding time without realizing it! ”

	“ It's not enough to tell them to be active; you need to teach them to live healhy active lifestyle BY EXAMPLE. And playing with them and expressing genuine interest in the things that they enjoy builds healthy family relationships. You'd be amazed at what you can learn about your kids and from your kids when you're just kicking it with them and having fun, sharing an activity you both enjoy. ”
