I enjoyed this post so much! It's awesome that your influencing your children in this way. I too have found that children get interested in exercise when they see us doing it and enjoying it! Keiths last blog post..Do You Believe?

What a wonderful and true story! I've been a runner for years and I walk with my hubby or else he wouldn't do it. We both enjoy those days. Tess The Bold Lifes last blog post..Magical Mondays Make Them 1/7 Of Your Life

Autumn – I would just get outside with him as often as possible and have him doing fun activities that challenge his endurance. For example… have him ride his scooter or bike, while you go for a fast paced walk. Or play relay type games that keeps him going and keeps his heart rate up. I love it that he chose to do that for his track meet! I’m excited for him and hope it’s a great experience for him!

Liz,
This is a great post. I think we can become conditioned to think of exercise or working out as drudgery or something that we “have” to do. We forget that using our bodies and being active can also be a great source of play and fun. Kids are so great at reminding us about how to enjoy ourselves and how to have fun inside our bodies. We can be great role models for them AND they always have something to teach us.

That is so awesome! I am excited for it to start warming up again so we can go on our nightly walks! My oldest son( 7) choose to run the 1/2 mile in his track meet in a few weeks, so i have been trying to think of ways to help him get ready for this… any ideas?
Also now i HAVE to go to target to get some of those cutesy clothes for my daughter, she loves doing pilates with me in the living room!

I LOVE this post. I can't wait to link to it. Thanks for having such a great attitude about fitness. Too many kids see their parents complaining about exercising. Super Healthy Kidss last blog post..Seasonal Allergies!
