It’s a family affair…………….

Teach your Children well.

As parents, we have committed ourselves to be our children’s teachers.  No matter what the message, they learn by observing us and doing as we do.

We strive to make the best decisions, the best choices, to lead by example and “being active”;  this is one that will serve them well.

Make movement an everyday activity.  Make it fun.  Find a movement you love, teach them,  and you all will move forever.

One of my favorite activities is riding my bike.  I put my children on bikes right away!  Soon after they walked, they were somehow put on some sort of “wheel”.  Remember the big plastic bike that we pushed with a handle because they could not reach the pedals? Ha! I was on it.

Now, it is second nature for us all to jump on our bikes.  We ride our bikes up to get a movie for the weekend, to get a treat at the frozen yogurt shoppe, to run simple errands and my favorite, is to take the crew to Seashore State Park to spend the day!

After every “active activity” that we do together, I always like to reinforce the importance of stretching.  Always address the muscles that you used during your activity and reset the muscles used.

This will serve you well and it will decrease the potential for possible injury down the road.

Be well, Kirsten
