You might think that the goal for children to be moderately physically active for 60 minutes seems like a lot of time. Life does get in the way, but it doesn't have to.

Make getting more physical activity a family project. Encourage everyone to think of fun things to do to get up and moving, get off the sofas, and away from the screens—especially doing things as a family.

There are hundreds of ways to enjoy physical activity together as a family.

    - Bike to the library together

    - Walk or bike to your children's sports events to cheer for them
    - Have your children come to your sports events and cheer for you
    - Celebrate special occasions - birthdays, anniversaries - with something
      active, such as a hike, a volleyball game, or a Frisbee™ match
    - Train together for a charity walk or run
