Stay Active

Keeping your family active is a great way to keep their bodies and minds healthy. You can easily sign your children up for local sports leagues to keep them fit or even just find activities you can enjoy doing with them. 

If you decide to sign your kids up for sports, try to find an activity that they really enjoy. This will increase the likelihood of them keeping themselves active by having the desire to continue exercising. Similarly, to keep yourself active, find something you enjoy doing! Finding an enjoyable activity where you can track your own progress will create a sense of satisfaction. The sense of satisfaction is caused by the release endorphins in your brain, which cause a feel-good type of feeling. This is essentially just your brain rewarding your body for doing things that make it happy! After finding something you enjoy, do your best to create a schedule. This will keep you disciplined in your activities throughout the week. It will benefit your mental clock to have a set time every day that is specifically dedicated to staying active. If you can, try to schedule these activities with a spouse or friend to do them with you. This will help you stay accountable for not only yourself, but your workout partner as well! 

Keeping yourself active is a fantastic way to keep your body at its peak when it comes to health and wellness. It will benefit your children as their bodies are still developing, too, so keep your whole family active!
