Written by Workouts are something hated not only by kids but also adults. Now, if you hate workouts as much as your kid then this article would benefit both of you! Believe it or not, a well-balanced workout regimen could single-handedly keep you fit and healthy throughout your whole life! And of course, no one said you need to do one of those boring cardio programs for hours or spend 24 hours in your local gym. Simple activities could help you and your kids keep the pounds away!
One reason behind the ever-increasing level of childhood obesity is the increasing addiction of children to video games, consoles, etc. If they sit and watch video games all day, when would they find time for workouts? The only way to break this habit is to take them regularly for a walk along the park. At the beginning, kids may hesitate to move beyond the world of video games.
Good news is that I have a remedy for this too! Ask yourself first: are YOU an active parent? If not, set a daily schedule for morning walks and then when you come back home tell your kid how much you loved and enjoyed the walk as well as how much your body benefited from it! The more interesting you make it to him, the more he would be willing to walk!
Slowly you could scale it over to the next level which includes jogging, running, swimming, etc.
– activities which would help your kid burn even more calories than he would by walking!
But like I said, they won’t make the first move unless you do, and to be honest, you should move your body too as obesity is harming you as much as your kids! When they see that you prefer to walk, run and jog instead of sitting at home and watching movies, they would soon emulate you and do the same!
Also, if there is any sport that you are passionate about or used to indulge in during your youth, you should start participating in that sport again! It could be anything which makes your body move and sweat, such as cricket, basketball, tennis, etc.
Note that by ‘sport’ I don’t mean chess or other board games; they are as bad as video games!
Like anything else in life, neither you nor your kid would find time for such activities unless you set a schedule for them. You should prioritize your health over even your most important tasks; once you do that, you would automatically find time to do the activities which would keep you away from fat belly and flabby arms!
Of course, the same applies to your kid too!
