I've always believed that physical play is important for children (and adults, too!). Roughhousing is good for the heart... and good for the heart. I don't have an exercise routine (though I often think I should), but I often lay in the floor to roll around with my kids. Sasha loves to give "Running Jumping Hugs!" Whew, you better be ready for them! Sasha and Spencer love to chase each other through the house, which I always encourage and enjoy the giggling! Sometimes, you might even catch one of us larger people (Daddy, big sister or myself) taking chase.
We also have fun with impromptu kitchen dance parties! And when the weather is nicer, I really enjoy taking our entire family out for long walks in the park: treasure hunting!
How do you cultivate a habit of being physically active in your family?
