parenting tip

If you have a child like my daughter, there isn't much that they care about except books.  She isn't into toys or video games.  She just likes to play with her siblings, outside, or read.  So how do you ground a child like that?  What do you do when their room is covered in stuff and they just keep not getting it clean like they are supposed to?  This:

a tip for you parents

Want a tip for getting more exercise in with kids ? Involve them! Most quickly recognize how good moving makes them feel and they will push YOU! Going to the park? Run laps around them while they play! Bike ride? Run alongside them OR ride with them... Even if you can't work up speed and a sweat that way, you can adjust your gear to have more resistance and get a great muscle workout in your legs. Just get creative and you can enjoy family time and fitness together!
