CAROLANN, CERT. FITNESS INSTRUCTOR: This is how to exercise with your kids. Now any time that you spend with your kids is precious memories that you're building in their lives, so why not make it fun, adventurous, and really burn some calories? So, all you need to do is just think about what your kids like to do. If they like to play basketball, go to your local community centers or go to the park, pick up a game of basketball. You can play horse, make it fun. If they like to roller blade, just go to the park, grab some roller blades, and go for it. Swimming is another great activity that you can do with your kids. So anything that your kids like to do that's really fun, get them going and doing burst of energy. Because kids, they don't like to keep going, and going, and going, they're all about doing burst of energy, and then they kind of take a break, then they do more burst of energy. So it's more of like an interval work out. So if you could think of activities that you can do like that, they're going to love it. Now here's a couple of tips that you want to keep in mind when you're exercising with your kids. Children tend to overheat a lot faster than adults do so make sure you can take a couple of breaks here and there. Make sure you're well hydrated and you have lots of water on hand. If you are outside, make sure that you have sunscreen, at least an SPF of 15. So, enjoy the moments that you have with your kids, make it fun, and make the whole family healthy.
