Did You Know?
👉🏻Only 1 in 3 children are physically active every day.
👉🏻About 1 out of 3 children is either overweight or obese in the United States.
👉🏻Overweight teens have a 70% chance of becoming overweight or obese adults.
👉🏻Kids learn from their parents behaviors. Parents who prioritize good nutrition and fitness will have kids who do the same.
Challenge kids with running on the weekends, walking around the neighborhood on nice days. Walk home as often as possible with them from the bus stop, and on bad weather days, create play in the house that’s safe. Invite them to join you doing a workout video and chose one that is fun for kids.
Invite them to do exercises that you are doing because it not only encourages physical activity, but it shows that it’s an important part of the day.
Making health and fitness a priority not only benefits us as parents, it also helps our kids to grow up healthy as well.
