Make Exercising a Family Event
I recently read in a magazine that the U.S. Department of Health is focusing on the fight against obesity. It has become a national epidemic. Sadly, more children are overweight now than in any other generation. I think part of the reason is because kids are spending too much time on the computer, and are obsessed with video games. My husband and I recently installed residential fitness equipment for our family. We try to set a good example by exercising at least every other day. Our children are no different than other kids. They enjoy their technology, but lately they are spending more time on the fitness equipment. We have started a family night centered around exercising.
