Exercise
is not ingrained in kids anymore, like it used to be...It's not just a given
that that's what they're going to do.
Kids
today are not naturally exercising anywhere near what they used to....It's
almost like we need to reintroduce exercise to kids and families. Just
say, "Life is not just about sitting on the couch and watching TV all day
long. Life is not about sitting around and playing video games all day
long all day long. You really do need to go out and try some of
these different exercises and it's very important that you do it."
At
the NIH event we had soccer things set up, we had basketball things set up, we
had games of tag. Just letting kids be kids and making sure it was fun. That's what it's all about. And that's what I
took away from the NIH event.
On another note, met some great bloggers at the event and here are some of their posts discussing the event! Check em out.
