No matter how old your kids are, you can always incorporate them into your workouts. Strap your baby to your chest and go on a walk, go for a jog while pushing a stroller, have your kids add extra weights while doing strength exercises such as push-ups - just get creative with this. Then when your children are older, you can turn almost anything into a game or workout, go on bike rides together, or enjoy their favorite sports. There's always a way to fit exercise into your life - just involve your family!
Share The Love Naturally
Of course, you want to make fitness a family affair without introducing it too early or forcing everyone to do it. You don't want your little girl to start lifting heavy weights and to cause damage to herself. Simply invite your family members to work out with you, and if they join - great! if not, know that fitness is not for everyone. Give your family as much room as possible to explore and figure out what activities interest them. A great way to motivate kids is to involve their friends or simply just have them watch you. You'll have them hooked in no time!
