FAMILY FITNESS IN SPRING

The light is changing, the days are longer, the animals are chasing each other all over the woods, the birdsong is noticeable again, the snow is melting and the sap is running.  Spring will soon be here. Fitness activities for everyone are changing from winter stuff to spring happenings. So if hibernating  has been your winter activityal because you don't like the cold, get out now with your kids.  Just a simple walk around the block, or to the park, or the corner store will make you feel great.Choose to do some simple kid-friendly activities. Soak up the sun and fill your lungs.  Share the joy with your child.  Teach them to appreciate and honour the changing seasons.  Make a family plan to visit a local sugar bush when they are making maple syrup. 

Encourage your children to pick an activity they would enjoy. You all want your fitness to be fun.  Give them some choices because they may not have any idea what is available.  What they really want is to be with you.  Just make memories of fitness oriented family activities you have enjoyed together.  Get out there, and don't forget your camera.  You will look back and be proud of yourself.  You are all worth it.
