Maybe your workout routine is great and your in great shape; what about your kids? Kids today move a lot less then they use and it takes a toll on their bodies. Avoid future health problems by making working out a family activity. Kids love playing so get creative and incorporate recess all year long:
* Rollerblade or riding bikes together instead of driving for short distances.
* Take turns or walk the dog together two to three times a day.
* Limit time spent watching TV, on the computer or playing video games
* Create a chore list that includes yardwork and other housework.
* Family exercise: go to local park, play sports, dance together for 1/2 hour.
* Keep kids hydration by having them drink water before and during exercise.
* Play games like tag and follow the leader.

The author of the Homebody Blogger lends her expertise with a helpful article titled Spring is Here: Tips for Sticking To Your Workout. Here’s an excerpt:
I hate those infomercial that sell the latest and greatest abs machine that will make beer belly into a six pack with no effort. They show some poor woman on the floor frustrated and in pain as she attempts complete two sit-ups without success. Then they cut to the celebrity that is currently on some reality show talking about the neck strain that their old exercise routine use to cause before they started using the gadget. They then share a glowing review about how toned their abs are now and it is all because of the abs flimflam. Let's be honest. We all know if you want tone abs or a six pack you're going to have to work for it. Some of the machine can be helpful: making sure you keep the proper form, or they add resistance, and enabling you to have better range of motion. Still nothing beats a good old fashioned sit up; they are many challenging variations and they are free. So get a mat or a towel, study different the exercising, keeping in mind the proper form, and be patient. If you are out of shape, your muscles are weak and the form will be a little shaky at first, but preserver and make sure you breathe. As you get stronger add reps and new exercises so that you are always challenging your muscles. If you have time watch one of the three abs workout and follow along.
