Family Activities

Recent data suggests that over 1/3 of today's youth are overweight or obese. Spending quality family time doing physical activities together is one key to reduction and prevention.

Here are just a few ideas:

  • Go for a bike ride
  • Play at the park, on a jungle gym, or monkey bars
  • Jump on a trampoline
  • Go swimming
  • Play a game of tag
  • Kick or throw a ball
  • Turn on music and dance

Be creative! Physical activity doesn't have to be conventional.

Keep in mind that kids should get at least one hour of physical activity per day.
