Wear a Pedometer

Studies have shown that wearing a pedometer increases the amount of physical activity that people get every day. These little devices are available in more shapes and sizes than ever. In fact, you can get an application that will enable your cell phone to show you how much you are walking! Try to increase the total number of steps you take by just a few each day and soon you’ll be getting the hour of moderate activity you need.

Work Toward Well-Rounded

When your kids are young, take the time to introduce them to a wide variety of sports, games and activities. This will give them the opportunities to find things that they enjoy doing and people they enjoy doing them with. By not pushing kids to specialize too early, you will help them to build a well-rounded set of interests and the opportunity to develop an array of skills and passions that will keep them interested, engaged and active for life. Explore the possibilities!​
