Childhood obesity is rising at an alarming rate, so we need to set an example for children with exercise and physical activities. Our children are profoundly affected by how we, as parents treat ourselves in every aspect and participating in fun activities is not only good for the heart and muscles but will improve self-esteem for everyone involved.
Some fun ways to workout with your kids are:
1. Kick around a soccer ball
2. Swimming
3. Fun runs
4. Bike Ride
5. Buy a kid friendly workout video and do it together
By participating in physical activities with your kids and also making a point of working out for yourself, your kids will learn the importance of staying active and will carry those lessons through their life if encouraged to do so by example.
Have fun together when thinking up new recipes and let the kids help make homemade snacks and desserts. When you make it yourself, it tastes better. Be mindful to include some things you are positive your kids will like, this will help them try something new in the future.
