Over the weekend my family and I walked The Color Run in Englishtown, NJ. I would have loved to run the 5K instead of walking, however my husband and I joined a group of friends and our children to walk together as a team. I am so glad we did. Eventually we will run some races without them, however this particular event was fantastic for families and I was amazed at the amount of children excited to exercise (and get pelted with color). How do you implement physical fitness as a family?
We integrate our children into all of our physical activities from races to swimming. If they aren’t old enough to participate, we love bringing them along in the stroller!
Not only is it important that children stay physically active, but that they also experience their parents taking part as well. I always tell my patients that are concerned for their children to lead by example. Keep up the fantastic example you are setting and thanks for checking out my post.
