SPEAKER: It can be.
I mean, just like adults,
if kids don't have a fun way
to get active, it is just
a dreaded chore, especially
if they don't feel
like an athlete.
But exercise is so
important for helping them
sleep, and stay focused,
and feel good about themselves.
They shouldn't just skip it.
Help your kids learn that it's
good to choose to move.
And here's a secret.
You don't have to call it
"exercise."
But don't sweat it if they're
not into sports or dance.
Help them find a more unique way
to get active,
like walking the dog
or following along
with a workout app.
And get outdoors together.
And don't let rain stop you.
Just play inside.
And when you're all together,
it's a perfect opportunity
to make family time into movin'
it time.
You may have to lay down the law
about screen time.
Switch it off-- yours too.
No one wants to just sit
on a couch.
So it's a great chance
to get them up and moving.
Show your kids that you choose
to be active.
You can literally walk the walk
and get all the health benefits
that come with it.
