Movement During Quarantine Part 1

While we’re at home, it’s more important than ever to move your body. When approaching fitness with children, always make sure to keep it playful. Do the activities with your child and have fun, chances are your enthusiasm will be contagious! Positive feedback and validation, possibly even a simple reward system, can go a long way to making movement activities more positive and impactful for your child. In situations such as we’re in, it is a perfect time to BE the example for your child, an active parent makes an active child. Make sure to do a wide variety of activities.
