by Fit Happens with GabbyHealth & FitnessSportsWhat's Hot

… And Yes, those are my Active, Sporty Niecipoos with their Uncle Canibus!

Did You Miss Get Fit Tips with Gabby on MELLOFM88 ? Thanks HEART Foundation Jamaica and Partners for Sponsoring!

1. MAKE IT FUN
Try to incorporate what kids like into their fitness routine. If they love dancing, consider taking them to dance class, or if they like to splash around in water, take them to swimming lessons.

2. SET GOALS AND CELEBRATE ACHIEVEMENT
Make the goals realistic and achievable.
E.g. Completing a certain number of laps around the track. Give them something to work towards and provide a reward such as, a special outing or a small treat.

3. BE A POSITIVE ROLE MODEL
Parents play a crucial role in shaping a child’s attitude towards fitness.
Parents should prioritize their own fitness and let their children see that. Show enthusiasm and commitment.
Go for a run together. This also strengthens your bond and creates memories.

4. ENCOURAGE VARIETY
Kids get bored easily, so try to keep them engaged and excited about fitness, Sometimes you may have to try new sports with them and develop their range of skills and interest.
Martial Arts is a good one that also encourages a different level of focus and discipline.

5. CREATE A SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT
Offer praise, encouragement and guidance. Also be patient and understanding when they face challenges.
Teach them that perseverance and effort are just as important as success.
