------PARENT INVOLVEMENT/HOMEWORK-----
As a parent/ guardian, It is critical that you be a part of your child's overall health and well-being. We highly recommend all parents/ guardians to exercise and practice physical fitness with their children. Some suggestions (and my personal favorites) include... tennis, jogging, and bike riding....and there are so much more!
Here are some guidelines for establishing a healthy lifestyle for your family
1 Schedule a regular time throughout the week for physical activity.
2 Take turns selecting an activity for the family to do as a group each week.
3 Start a log of daily fitness activities for each family member.
4 Adapt all activities to suit those with special needs and preferences.
5 Help everyone to find something active that makes them feel successful.
Remember: It does not have to cost a lot of money to activate the family!

Fitness experts feel that walking can be as valuable an aerobic exercise as jogging, swimming, or biking. In fact, walking may be the best form of exercise you can undertake (low shock and minimized strain on the body). Walking is the oldest form of exercise known to man. Seventy-seven million Americans regularly walk for fitness and pleasure, reaping the following benefits:
Enhanced weight loss
Increased energy
Improved fitness level
Decreased stress and tension
Improved muscle tone
Increased ability to perform daily activities
Decreased risk of age-related disease
Improved cardiovascular health
