Excersise For Mums & Bubs
posted by Damon on June 16, 2008
Using the Baby Sports Schedule you can find a whole new world of activities for yourself and your child. The concept is simple, we find venues that are equiped for Adults and also provide juniour activities to keep the kidds busy while you are able to get healthy relaxed and active yourself. EXERCISE IS KEY - Exercise rather than limiting food intake is the best and safest way to become more healthy.
- People who only cut back on food lose some weight, but often this is due to muscle loss as well as fat loss, and the weight is put back on quickly.
- Regular exercise such as brisk walks daily, regular physical education classes or sport can lead to weight loss without muscle loss and improved health. Even if no weight is lost, this exercise makes the person fitter and healthier.
- Find out what exercise your child most enjoys and support him in doing that. This often works really well if you exercise with your child.
- Encourage your child to be involved in clubs and sports if he is old enough.
- Think of ways that your child can get more exercise in ordinary living eg helping at home could be to take the dog for a walk instead of drying the dishes. Try using the stairs in shops instead of the escalators.
- If television watching is a problem you could have a television diary with a certain number of watching hours a week that your child could choose to use up when he wanted to (within reason). Perhaps some extra time could be earned by active chores such as running errands or sweeping paths.
