The habits, both healthy as harmful to health, begin to form early. Never too early or too late to develop good habits of physical activity. Sure, “the sooner the better”, but “never too late if this is good.” So, starting today, “To run away!”

One of the best ways to promote the healthy growth of our children and keep our communities healthy is through the establishment of an active lifestyle in the family. Research shows that children and adults who exercise regularly have fewer problems with physical and emotional health than those who take a passive lifestyle, sedentary.

It is recommended that we exercise to the point of sweating at least an hour a day. The exercise serves as a source of energy to perform everyday tasks and helps reduce stress. It also provides opportunities to share and enjoy as a family.

Here are some ways to fit exercise into our daily routine and our family traditions.

Principles:

• To establish realistic goals (exercising regularly, not to become professional athletes.)
• Provide regular rewards as motivation (reward or drive you want).
• To make the exercise time a fun time (making music, changing the place, changing the routine).
• Reduce the time spent in passive activities (television, computer, video games).
