Modelling Exercise for your Children
It’s no secret that your children will learn more about life from you than from TV, school or their peers. So what is it they’re learning from you about a healthy lifestyle? Do your kids see you enjoying regular physical activity or are you slumped on the couch in front of the 52-inch HDTV watching a re-run of Everyone Loves Raymond? Do you serve up healthy portions of fruits and vegetables every day or is that a super-sized bag of chips perched beside you on the couch? Do they see that you feel good about yourself or notice your lack of energy?
Why not choose to leave your children ( or nieces and nephews) the legacy of good health habits by modeling healthy forms of physical activity and good food choices -- your actions or inactions will impact future generations!
Better yet … dust off the bikes and make it a family affair. Be a part of the move to build healthier families and a healthier generation!
