Set An Example For Your Kids.

Childhood obesity is an epidemic. We see news articles about it all the time and we see evidence of it every day once we walk down the road, go into our neighborhood shops or pick up our children from school.

Its just about criminal to allow our youngsters to vegetate in front of a Telly consuming packets of crisps and chocolate until dinner time. For people that can be bothered to cook instead of take away, dinner could be well beyond 7pm providing little time for the little ones to digest their food before bed.

Why is it so tricky to motivate oneself and your children to smart behaviour? Well, lets break it down.

Morning the children dont want to get up. Theyre tired, dont want to consume breakfast and your stress levels rise.

You travel to work by car, train, bus, cycle, walk. Whichever your selected kind of transport getting around just isn't straightforward. Traffic, traffic fumes, bad weather, inconsiderate road users. STRESS

You work.... hard. Even when you are sat at a desk your brain is constantly busy. By the end of your working day you end up exactly the same way shattered, and youve still got to get home.

Evening You would like time for you to wind down. Therefore you give in to the children in order to get some head space. And the cycle starts over again.

We put ourselves under a lot of stress throughout our working week. We dont intend to but its a reality of life. Most people live hectic, stressful lives and when it comes to reducing stress in the home, giving in to the kids is an easy answer.

But what could be the solution. Time and money are in short supply for quite a few of us. However its a identified undeniable fact that exercising can reduce stress levels. When the weather is decent, get outside. Take the youngsters for a bike ride or stroll to the shops instead of using the car. You could possibly go to the health club but if we're to set an example to the youngsters, we have to let them see what we're doing. Invest in some home gym equipment, there are even treadmills suitable for kids, and using cardiovascular exercise equipment on a regular basis will ensure you are around for a good number of years to see the youngsters grow up.

Prepare your week more effectively. Communicate with those people close to you to make it possible for them know what your ideas are. Prepare some family training routines. If it is possible to, have a training night at home, let the youngsters get interested. Give them workout routines to do that mimic what you are doing. Make it enjoyable and family focussed. There is loads of cheap exercise equipment around that you as well as the children could use for example buying skipping ropes, gym ball exercise equipment or mini stepper units.

And finally breathe. Take big deep lung filling breaths. The body needs oxygen and a few deep breaths every single morning will set you up for your day.

When we were young, we didnt have hundreds of alternative Television stations, video games and social mass media. We went out to see our mates, and in doing so exercised we played in the park or the road and rode our bikes. We are living in a very different world now and our youngsters dont do the things we did as children, so make changes that suit the world we reside in. Search for chances to boost your health and fitness and in doing so, set an example for your children.
