Get the kids involved

GOT KIDS? No doubt these times are also hard on them. Get them involved in creating healthy habits that will last them a life time. If you haven't been the best example, get on board too! It's hard to break bad habits and create new ones. We are here to help! But first, why should one even try? Well there are numerous benefits and studies that show how helpful this simple way of life can be.


Tips and tricks to accomplish healthy habits:


1. Start with smaller, defined goals. (for example: every day this week I WILL get up at 5am and do this 5 minute exercise video)

2. Write down 3 goals, including the first one, on a sticky note and post it to your mirror or fridge or everywhere! (example: 1. I will get up at 5 am every day this week and do the 5 minute exercise video, 2. Next month May 1st, I will get up at 5 am do the 5 minute exercise video then do 15 minutes of cardio 3. I will do #1 and #2 and accomplish my first 5k June 1st.)

3. Remind yourself of the benefits.. Go ahead write them down and keep them visible. Healthy habits create:

* Healthy structure to your day

* More energy throughout the day

* Balance and peace mentally and physically

* Prevents a lot of bad stuff like disease, sickness, and obesity.

* Make your own.. how do you think doing this will benefit you? How do you think it will benefit your family (for example: setting a GOOD example for your kids and the importance of eating healthy, learning to cook healthy, staying physically fit).
