Daily Fit Tip: Fit parents mean fit kids

Posted on May 24th 2007 6:00AM by Martha Edwards
Whether you want to admit it or not, your kids mimic your habits, as any parent who has inadvertently cursed in front of their child only to hear it come out of their little mouth later knows. And you want the best for your kids but how can expect them to form healthy habits if you, their main influence, aren't leading a healthy lifestyle? If you spend every moment in front of the screen (computer or TV) and get little outdoor activity, they'll want to do that too. So get out of the house and do something -- go for a swim, a walk, a bike ride, rowing in a canoe -- anything to encourage those little minds to get out too, and to show them that being active is not only important but fun.

Here are some tips on being a fit parent from eDiets. Do you have any other suggestions?
