Getting kids to exercise

[Caleb]

How do you get your kids to be active and exercise with you? I want to exercise as a family so we have started to cycle together and also walk together. What kinds of things do you do together to be active and healthy?

My son started little league this summer so we've been playing alot of baseball at the park. Then, we head to the playground until I'm ready to collapse. He outlasts me every time.

It depends on your kids ages, but I think walking is suitable for kids at any ages. For younger kids it would be more encouraging if you took your dog with you during your walk.

I like to spend time outdoors. My little one is still too young to cycle, but she will go for a walk with me. I think it gets harder as they get older though. But that is just from what I have seen.

We go to the park a couple days a week. Sometimes, we toss a ball around or hit the playground or just play tag. The kids found a Frisbee at the bottom of our sports box and we're going to try that next time out.
