Get your Kids Involved! By Steve Power, Be Fit Trainer

In addition to training adults, I teach gym classes at the health club for Boston Children's School and MGH Children's Center. As many of you have probably heard, childhood obesity is on the rise. I've included a link below to an article that talks about kids and diet, but as you know, exercise is important too.

If you have kids, one great way to get workout points is to do some activities with your children. Some suggestions include walks, follow the leader (hopping, skipping, jumping), raking leaves to make a scarecrow or old-school calisthenics like jumping jacks, push-ups and squat jumps. Not only will you have fun spending time with your kids, but you'll be getting your workout in and setting a good example to boot!

Be Fit. Eat Healthy. It's your choice!
