Over the past year I’ve worked with the wonderful folks at Together Counts to share ideas on how to get active with your kids.<\/p>\n

According to the CDC<\/a>,\u00a0Childhood obesity has more than doubled in children and tripled in adolescents in the past 30 years. This is a sad trend in our country and as parents we have the ability and resources to help make lifelong changes for good in our children’s lives.<\/p>\n

I believe that one of the best ways to help your kids make healthy choices when it comes to diet and exercise is to make those same healthy choices yourselves. Kids want to be like their parents, especially when they are young, so if you aren’t making healthy choices for yourself it is hard to expect your children to make them without you.<\/p>\n

Even if this is an area you’ve neglected with your family, or needs improvement in your own life, it isn’t too late. Today is always the best day to get started!<\/p>\n

Need help getting started, here are a few ideas.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
