Getting Your Family Into Fitness
Getting and staying in shape is important for you - but your workouts may be more important for your family. The reason: your family is inexorably drawn to follow your fitness example - for good or bad. How you manage your personal fitness and nutrition has a ripple effect that spreads across your entire family.
Your "personal ripple effect" may be one of the most powerful forces shaping your family's mental and physical future. Consider the following:
We are products of our environment. We gravitate toward what we are repeatedly exposed to.
It's a simple matter of repetition. The more we see, hear, use, or eat something the more it becomes ingrained in our psyche. In fact, social scientists believe environmental repetition may have an effect on gene expression and can literally change your biochemistry.

Kid Fitness Programs
Kids' fitness is a major concern today with several kids becoming overweight or even obese by the time they reach their teenage years. Over 40% of the kids in the US are believed to be overweight. Even though obesity is often believed to be because of genetic factors or because of over-eating, lack of proper exercise is also a major reason for obesity among children. There is an imbalance between activity and diet that causes even children who eat normally to put on excessive weight. Obesity is determined by calculating the body mass index, which is the ratio between the height and the weight.
A BMI between 17 and 23 is considered healthy. Anything higher than this is considered to be obesity.
These days, there are special fitness programs exclusively for kids. These include exercises, healthy nutritional plans, and even emotional strengthening. Kids' fitness programs are designed to be a lot of fun.
They are also designed based on their age.
