Don't forget to Exercise!

It is easy to get caught up in the business of the day and leave out exercise! However, getting enough activity helps us to feel better, it helps us to *think* better, and it can go a long way in allowing our children to be calm enough to do school work! In our family, we try to exercise every morning before we start school. Most days, we actually accomplish this!

When weather permits, we enjoy taking a walk through our neighborhood (my older children like to ride bikes/scooters, skate or they race each other running half the way!). When it is too hot, too cold, or too rainy, we have exercise videos that we love! Our favorites are Billy Blanks Tae-Bo for kids, and Rich Grogan's Kick to Get fit.



My daughter loves Denise Austin's Fit Kids, which has 2 workouts, one of which is for families! I really like it as well, but my oldest son is not wild about it.

Whatever way you choose though, I challenge you to make a plan to exercise with your kids every day! You will really notice a difference in how it helps them (and you) during the day, and it teaches them a wonderful like skill!
