Growing up I remember playing outside all day with my friends until my mom called for me to come in for the night. Today, I don’t see too many kids outside playing into the evening and I don’t hear too many moms calling their kids to come in for the night. Where is everyone? Are all the kids in structured activity classes? Are they watching TV? Playing video games? Doing homework? Is everyone too tired to do anything? Kudos to all the families who are making physical activity and play a priority for their children. It’s not always easy but it must be easier to make fitness and outdoor play a big part of your children’s lives when they are young instead of waiting until they are teens or even adults.

How do you make fitness fun for your kids?
