Involve the whole family:  Invite everyone to participate in activities. Encourage your kids to play, sign-up for  a martial arts class.

Focus on fun:  Kids like to have fun, so they’re more likely  to keep exercising if they’re doing an activity  they enjoy. Make activity social.

Use competition as a motivator.  Make it a contest between you and the kids to see who can run faster, or do more push-ups  or jumping jacks. Give the winner a prize.

Include kids in household activities:  Many household chores, like washing the dog or the car, or mowing the lawn, are great opportunities to sneak in a little physical activity.

Give gifts that promote physical activity: Rollerblades, bicycles, ice skates, soccer balls and even active-play video games make great gifts that promote physical activity.
