Living a healthy, busy and active lifestyle is important for children and adults alike. Establishing an active schedule can help everyone meet exercise goals.

The Letsmove.org website suggests:

• Provide kids with toys that promote physical activity, such as jump ropes, balls and kites.
• Encourage participation in sports and other exercise.
• Avoid putting a TV in a child’s room. When you do watch TV, make it a family rule that you don’t sit still during commercials.
• At least a few times a week during nice weather, plan a safe walk to and from school.
• Go for a short walk after each meal.
• Skip the elevator and take the stairs.
• Schedule active family fun days at a park.
• Set exercise goals for the family.
