Spring has Sprung....now let's get moving

Alright moms and dads it is time to start having fun while getting fit.  In just a couple of months we will remove our coats and jackets for the more revealing t-shirts and shorts.  What we did in the winter will be revealed in the summer.  It is time to stretch, warm up, exercise and get fit.  

Getting Started

• See your doctor before starting any fitness program
  
• Exercise at least 3 days a week, walking 30 minutes a day is a great way to start
  
• Take a good multivitamin
  
• Eat just one more serving of fruits and veggies than you did last week
  
• Eliminate at least two servings sugary snacks and fast food meals
  
• Get a water bottle and keep it near your work space, it will improve your water intake.
  

Make Fitness a Family Affair

• Go for after dinner walks with the entire family
  
• Get those bikes out and ride the trails in a park
  
• Dust off those tennis rackets and show the kids how its done
  
• Dance around the house, enjoy yourself and enjoy your children
  

We need to make sure we are here to help our children navigate this increasingly complicated world, so please take care of yourself.  The added benefit -- we are teaching them how to have fun with their family.  I have a feeling our grandchildren would thank us.

All the best!
