Get those Kiddos Moving!

Back in my day you were always playing outside, there wasn't video games and you didn't come in until it was getting dark. Now a days its totally different, even some schools don't offer gym anymore! Our kids need to get up and get moving!

Give Kids Chores:

Vacuuming, laundry, cleaning and walking the dog all keep them moving and you are teaching them responsibility.

Exergame:

Turn screen time into a healthy activity with games from Dancetown, Kinect, Wii and Xavix. In fact playing the games for 10 minutes produces as many benefits for kids as walking for 10 minutes on a treadmill

Set up a family challenge:

Every day have a new competition, whoever does the most push-ups, squats or jumps that day wins.

Run drills:

Set up 4 cones in a line 10 to 20 yards apart, give each one of them a number. Have the kids start at the same spot. Blow a whistle and call out a number, each kid runs to that cone and does an exercise (jumping jacks, squats, hopping on one foot etc). until you blow the whistle again and then run back to start and repeat.

Let them walk to school:

You will save money on gas and they will be getting some exercise

Host an indoor obstacle course:

On a rainy or cold day supervise some indoor fun. Examples: couch sit and jump, kitchen sock running man, hallway sprints....the ideas are limitless!

Thank you All You

Apple Ginger Fizz for Fall

The kids deserve a special drink for the fall besides apple cider. This is a great fall mocktail with a beautiful flavor combination. Not just for the kiddos. This makes 1 drink What you'll need: 3 oz still apple cider 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice 6 mint leaves 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar Pinch powdered cinnamon 3 oz ginger ale Create: Place apple cider, lime juice, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar and a few ice cubes into a cocktail shaker. If you don't have a shaker, anything with a tight lid will work, such as a mason jar or drink bottle. Clap the mint together in your hands to release the scent, and add to the shaker. Shake for about 20-30 seconds until ingredients are combined. Pour into an ice filled glass and top with ginger ale. Stir gently, garnish with mint, dried citrus or a cinnamon stick, and serve.
