Get the Family Involved to Get Active

With today’s busy schedules, it can be difficult for family members to meet physical activity recommendations. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute suggests the following to get more active: schedule family exercise after dinner, on weekends, or during other blocks of free time; stay motivated by joining an exercise group or by having your kids participate in community sports; and engage in activities that don’t depend on good weather, such as indoor cycling, indoor swimming, stair climbing, rope skipping, and dancing.
