Ideas from Real Moms


I spent the past weekend with a few moms, all of which have very healthy families. I thought it would be a good idea to get a few ideas from them on things they do to keep them, their spouses, and their kids healthy. Here are a few of their suggestions.
- Rather than pushing their kids in the strollers to the park they have them walk or ride their bikes/trikes.
-They walk to the park for healthy picnics.
-It's easier to get their kids to ride bikes or play outside when they do it with them.
-During the winter they take their kids to the community rec center, Kangaroo Zoo, etc. to make sure their kids are still being active.
-They cook healthy meals on the grill with their husbands while playing with their kids in the yard (throwing a football, etc).
-They do yard work with their kids.
-Have family contest (pull-ups, push-ups, etc.)
-When its cold outside they also like to turn on some music and dance!
For more family activity ideas visit the LDS Family Activity Website or Moms Buzz.
