We go outside as much as we can. Being outside seems to require activity. I want to make sure my kids are active. I don't want them to think that they have to exercise for 30-60 minutes a day. I want them to just be active.

My wife and I take great care of myself, and we make sure the kids eat right and they are certainly active playing, but I want to be sure they continue on that path as they get older. This would be great.

This book is a great idea to help families be more active. Here are a few of the ways my family stays active:

-Make indoor exercise fun-for example-include children in yoga exercise time with their own special mats and yoga wear. These yoga exercises are shown on FitTV cable channel or in exercise videos-almost all children and adults can easily do the beginner yoga exercises

-Sign the family up for outdoor sporting events that include the whole family that are inspiring. For example, the US Tennis Open just had several family day events with celebrity pros giving free lessons or the NY Junior Tennis League has group lesson programs throughout the year

-My favorite way to stay fit however is I run after my cute 4 year old nephew on the beach who does not stop running around for more than a minute when we are there. I think I lose a few pounds every time we go to the beach. ;-)

Our family incorporates the kids into making meals. We have a small garden and the kids are encouraged to pick veggies and herbs to go into the meals. We also have fruit at each meal. This keeps the kids from feeling sugar deprived and asking for sweets. Finally, we are always outside (at the playground, walking the dog, riding bikes) and dancing when inside (even Daddy!). We try to make eating healthy and physical activity a normal thing so that anything but that is strange.:)

We love to get outdoors! On weekends depending on the weather we may go kayaking, walking, hiking or biking! In the "less spectacular" weather, we LOVE to go rollerblading at a local roller rink! We get a good workout and I get to re-live my youth with the 80's tunes that they sprinkle in!

We like to go camping. When we're camping we go bike riding and going on hikes. We are always playing games also.

Jenna Z. 9-11-2009 @ 1:54PM

Walking the dog as a family!

We usually take our kids for a walk every evening. We have 3 children and they love to ride their bikes while my husband and I walk, We have found that this little bit of time has helped us tremendously with communication with our children while also making sure they are active. We love it!

Ric 9-11-2009 @ 4:02PM

Used to be bike rides around the city.

MY TURN TO WIN???????

Sara Thompson 9-12-2009 @ 12:28AM

Our favorite way to stay fit is by playing soccer with each other. My son is on a soccer team, so we practice with him a lot.

We stretch and exercise together. It's a great ego boost for them to see how much better they are at stretching and flexibility.

Daniel M 9-12-2009 @ 10:41PM

walking biking hiking and eating fruits and veggies

christopher h 9-13-2009 @ 1:27AM

we walk down to the park together

nycole 9-13-2009 @ 12:03PM

We like to stay fit by geo-caching. It's a GPS treasure hunt that takes us on hikes.

Kimberly 9-13-2009 @ 10:48PM

We go for walks together. It's the most relaxing way to exercise with each other.

Gloria 9-14-2009 @ 11:51AM

We go to the parka and play catch, play tag, whatever they suggest so they are having the most fun!

Molly Krantz 9-14-2009 @ 12:45PM

We stay fit by going outside every night. We either walk/bike to the park and play on the equipment or we play a lot of catch in the backyard.

Karrie 9-14-2009 @ 9:01PM

I like to take walks with the kids & hubby

Kim 9-14-2009 @ 9:01PM

We like to take walks outside when the weather permits (we live in Michigan, this varies from day to day lol). We will walk to the store, dinner, friends houses, etc. Not only does it give us good exercise but it saves gas and money also! In the winter we make it a point to hit the gym as much as possible and not get lazy through the cold winter months.
