Kids need at least 1 hour of physical activity a day, and adults should strive for 150 minutes of physical activity each week. All sorts of activities count, and you’ll find that time will fly when you choose activities that you and your family enjoy. If your family enjoys swimming, hiking, or playing basketball spend time as a family getting active those ways. If your family prefers walking, soccer, or tennis chose those activities. Remember that your kids look up to you as a role model, so if you’re active they’re more likely to be active too.
