Spring has definitely sprung which means it must be time for...baseball! So why not play a modified version of it in your backyard! Get your wiffle ball, bat, mitts, and bases out and get moving with your kids! Name your teams, coordinate your shirts, and start pitching! Remember, ACTIONS speak louder than WORDS!
Turn off the tv and turn on the music -- whatever kind of music that gets you moving. The children may be a little hesitant at first but they will be laughing and moving with you in no time at all. Start out with something a little slow and then really turn it up. Use iTunes to create a playlist and make it a weekly family night. Need a few new moves? Watching 'So You Think You Can Dance' always helps here! It premiers in a few short weeks on Fox. What a great way to connect with your family and get moving with your children. Enjoy and dance the night away!
I am an active Mom of three promoting health and fitness while spending quality time with my children and inspiring them to do the same. Up for the challenge? Let's do it together!
