Family Sports and Fitness
More Oxygen Means More Fitness
What is aerobic exercise and why should it be part of
everyone’s workout plan? Aerobic exercise increases
your body’s need for oxygen and strengthens your
heart and lungs as they use that oxygen. >>>
Family Nutrition
Make Vegetables and Fruits More Fun!
Combine healthy ingredients and play and you’ve got
a lifelong lesson in nutrition. Let the kids help prepare
these dishes and you may find they’re drawn to foods
they avoided in the past. >>>
Family Fun
Find Fitness and Fun in an Active Scavenger Hunt
Instead of looking only for objects in your next scavenger
hunt, add in a search for activities that keep everyone
moving. In an Active Scavenger Hunt, your family seeks
physical fun instead of objects. The game is easy to
organize and adaptable for every age and ability. >>>
