Trick or Treating is Exercise

This Halloween I noticed something very disturbing. We had several kids that came to our door huffing and puffing from walking around the neighborhood. A couple of kids even complained about how tired they were from walking around the neighborhood. The sad thing is that for many of these kids the walking that they did while trick or treating is probably more exercise than they are used to doing. If kids are tired from trick or treating then they need more exercise. The lifestyle for most kids today is to go to school then come home and either watch tv, play video games, or get on the computer. We need to find ways to get kids more active and one of the best ways is for the parents to be more active. Kids love to workout. I have never had a kid come into my facility who did not want to at least play with the equipment and try what everyone else was doing. So if you are having trouble getting your kids moving, then start to workout yourself and see if your kids take an interest. More often than not they will be interested.
