But how do we expect that to happen when we aren’t leading by example? It’s important to practice what we preach as adults. So, let’s make family fun an active thing.</div><div><br></div><div>We’ve rounded up 5 cool ways to keep moving with the whole family:</div><div><br></div><div><ol><li>If the weather’s good and you have a little extra time, put on your walking shoes instead of taking the car.<br></li><li>Plan fun family outings. Make it a regular thing. Visit animal rescue shelters and take dogs for walks. Go for runs on the beach (or a nice swim). Fish and chips at the harbour.<br></li><li>Shopping doesn’t need to be a drag. Turn any trip to the mall into a good workout. Wear comfortable shoes and get moving.<br></li><li>Take regular strolls on the sand (sand = a great workout), play with a Frisbee, beach bats or enjoy a game of volleyball.<br></li><li>Playing with the kids in the pool (or sprinkler) is a great way to keep active and beat the heat. Add water pistols or a water slide for extra fun.<br></li></ol></div><div>What other fun ideas can you think of?</div></div>
