When the whole family is involved in physical activities together, children learn that being active is fun and makes you feel good. And busy parents can combine family time with exercise time.
Try these tips for getting everyone in the family up and moving together:
Getting started
As a family, make a list of activities you'd like to do together.
Make sure the activities are things everyone can do and enjoy.
Keep a family physical activity log, or hang a calendar on the wall.
Try to plan one or two family activities a week. For ideas, see the suggestions below.
Once a month, plan something special that involves being active, like a trip to the zoo, a day hike, or camping.
Use a safe backpack, stroller, or bike trailer so that smaller children can be included in family activities.
