Give your kids a better start to life

A recent study published in the Los Angeles Times has shown that physical fitness has produced improved learning in children.

So how can you help improve the fitness of your kids?

Role model physical activity – show your kids you exercise regularly and that it’s important
Participate in physical activity as a family activity – go for a bike ride , kick the footy in the park or walk together
Encourage your kids to get involved in school sporting teams
Let your kids hear you talk about the importance of ‘being healthy’ and use this to explain lifestyle choices your family makes
Set a limit for ‘screen’ time – minimise the amount of time they spend sitting
