Getting Active Together
Summary:
Only one-fourth of people meet the Surgeon General's recommendation of 30 minutes of exercise daily. Since inactive children often grow into inactive adults, it's crucial to foster healthy habits early.
Article Body:
A mere 25% of us achieve the daily 30 minutes of exercise recommended by the Surgeon General. Encouraging activity in children is key, as sedentary kids tend to become sedentary adults.
"Staying active as a family offers numerous health benefits and can be a source of great fun," says Sharon Bergen, senior vice president of education and training for Knowledge Learning Corporation, a leader in early childhood education. Here are some of Bergen’s tips for parents:
- Choose Family-Friendly Activities: Engage in activities everyone can enjoy, such as swimming, biking, or gardening. In winter, try ice skating or sledding. Dedicate specific times for physical activity to make it a regular part of your family's routine.
- Incorporate Walking: Use walking as a mode of transportation. Walk to the grocery store instead of driving, and encourage your child to join you. Explore your local library or recreation center on foot.
- Plan Active Vacations: Opt for vacations that keep you moving. Hike in national parks, explore historic sites by bike, or canoe to find a picnic spot. Avoid passive sightseeing from the car window.
- Give Activity-Promoting Gifts: Instead of video games or DVDs, consider gifts like sports equipment, skateboards, or rollerblades.
- Balance Screen Time: While TV, video games, and the Internet can be enjoyed in moderation, they should be balanced with physical activity. Encourage your child to match every hour of screen time with an hour of active play.
Building healthy habits now will yield significant benefits for your child in the future.
