While you could say that just about any kind of outdoor play is a form of exercise (and you'd be right), some activities are much more exercise than others.

What did you like to do as a child? Go roller skating? Ride your bike? Play baseball, softball, soccer, football or another sport? Are you encouraging your children to do so as well?

Most kids will enjoy one or another form of outdoor exercise; you just have to find out what they prefer. If they enjoy sports, find out how to get them signed up with a team in your area or play casually at home. Lots of team sports can be practiced at home with only a little equipment.

The great thing about getting your kids to do these activities is that it provides an incentive for you to do so as well, making some great family time and a break from everyday stresses.

Just think about it. How much trouble is it to get even an hour every few days to go to the gym? Someone has to take care of the kids while you exercise, even if you use the gym's daycare. You have to drive to get there.

If you find fun things to do at home that involve exercise, you won't need to go to the gym. Playing with your kids for an hour is a lot easier and more fun than going to the gym. No, you won't get to use the equipment to target specific muscle groups, but playing with the kids can certainly be aerobic exercise if you play hard enough!

So go play!
