Kids & Exercise

Over the holiday break, my kids spent 4 days at Winter Camp at The Little Gym. They LOVED it….for 3 hours they ran and jumped and played their little hearts out. And that is when it occurred to me: my kids require a good amount of exercise every day. They don't need it, they require it. If we don't do some sort of physical activity, by 5:00 p.m. they are literally bouncing off the walls or clothes-lining each other in a game of Race Car Touch. In the summertime, we could just go out in the backyard, for a bike ride, for a walk, etc. But now that it's winter, I really need to start planning a physical activity portion of the day.  This time of year it's too rainy, dark or cold to go outside - so what IMG_6950do you to get your kids exercise on a regular basis?

Here's Alex doing one of my exercise videos. I started doing it with both of them, and they LOVE it. Alex asks often (several times a day) for me to put on the video so we can exercise.
