Encourage The Children

When I woke up this morning I read 3 simple tips on how to encourage our children to start a fitness program. First they need to cut down the screen time. We all know that kids in today’s generation between the ages of 10 to 16 spend an average of six hours a day in front of the screen. This inactivity leads to poor fitness, obesity and higher risk of anxiety and depression. The second step is post a fitness calendar on your fridge. Most families are very busy with our lives. So, to make sure that your kids will not miss out the exercise time and schedule activity blocks on a large calendar. Each family member can be responsible for booking fitness time on certain days. Get everyone involves. Then support after school physical activities. Get involved at your children schools and encourage them to participate in meaningful and enjoyable activities. You can even volunteer to help coach a sports team or supervise outdoor playtime after school.
