There's an emphasis on kids
getting fit these days, and during the summer months there are no school-based
programs to keep kids active. If you're looking for ideas for fitness
activities for your kids this summer, here are some suggestions.
First, make sure your kids stretch and warm up before engaging in these fitness activities. And second, help your kids choose activities that are fun and active - not overly competitive.
Here are some activity ideas:
When you were a kid, it's likely that you hopped on your bike and rode in the neighborhood in the summer. Although things are a little different now, bike riding is still a great way for kids to be active in the summer. Make sure they always wear a helmet, and that they are not riding in the road or street if they are under ten years old. Once you've found a safe place for them to ride, help them stay motivated by inviting other kids and family members to join. Make it a regular thing!
