Family Fitness
By: Terje Ellingsen: Family fitness is fun! So, how do you get your family off the sofa and encourage them to get moving with you? It can be a simple task if you find an exercise program that the entire family can enjoy!
We all know that too many Americans are overweight and even more that don’t follow a regular exercise program. It is up to mom and dad to initiate some movement within their own household. There’s an old saying that the family that plays together, stays together. This is the approach you should take to get your family moving! It’s not exercise, it’s time to play! First, you should pay close attention to what everyone in the family likes to do. For example, if both you and your spouse are tennis fanatics, tennis should definitely be on the exercise agenda. If your son is an avid golfer, you need to learn to swing! If your daughter is a devoted jogger, guess who needs to jog too? Find out what everyone in the family likes to do (and you probably already know) and then do it as a family!
