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
