Win a $50.00 Gift Certificate for Hanes Kids and Kathy Kaehler Family Fitness Tips.

By Cindy | February 22, 2008

Kathy Kaehler, mom to three boys, and personal trainer to many moms including celebrities, has teamed up with Hanes to share wonderful tips to incorporate fitness into everyday living. Parents with kids of all ages benefit by enforcing activities that require movement.





 

7 Tips to Put Fitness and Fun into Every Day of the Week

• Customize your family’s activity calendar. Award stickers and stars to those who complete a full week of chores, activities and, of course, fitness!

• Host contests and games, such as hoola-hoop and jump rope contests, Twister marathons and potato sack races. Those who win get a “chore-free” day (or week!).

• Get your kids bouncing! During commercial breaks jump with your kids on mini trampolines. For added fun, let them personalize their own trampolines however they want!

• Pack healthy snacks and water and go for an adventure hike in the park or the backyard. Mix up the locations so every adventure is different and encourage your kids to pick up various items, such as leaves or rocks for craft projects at home.

• Target practice! Make water balloons or just take a ball and throw them at a designated target – outside the house of course!

• Encourage your kids to create their own music mix and have a dance party! • Pick out of a hat who gets to lead stretching exercises before bed.

For more great ideas and a neat “One Minute Workout” for all members of the family, read the rest of Kathy’s article at Hanes.com/Kids.

I loved the week calendar for moms at Hanes.com/Kids. Plug in the week’s activities into the Calendar and print it for the whole family. The Family Zone has crafts and games available with simple, printable instructions. The website’s navigation and selection of clothing is wide and affordable.

Thanks for the great fitness tips. I would add that it’s especially important for parents to model good nutrition and exercise habits. Often, our actions speak louder than our words…and kids love to mimic our actions.

Thanks for the opportunity to win!
