Research shows that children under the age of five who watch their parents exercising regularly are more likely to grow up to be fit, healthy adults themselves.
Parents who go one step further and exercise with their children are setting a strong foundation for a healthy lifestyle in their children. Exercising as a family also reinforces family bonds and creates family traditions. Busy parents, who may otherwise view family life as an obstacle to fitness, find this the perfect way of spending quality time while still taking care of their bodies. Further, children who exercise do better academically and form social bonds easier.
Getting fit as a family requires some creativity but does not have to be complex. Allocating fixed times sets a routine, which children thrive on. Incorporate things your children like doing, like playing football, riding bicycles or even playing electronic fitness games together.
