Recently, my wife and I had the privilege of welcoming our fourth child into our home! Of course, with a newborn comes incredible joy, incredible fatigue, and an incredible amount of love!

My wife is now six weeks postpartum and ridiculously excited to resume working out again (even “ridiculously excited” it is somewhat of an understatement in her case! Let’s say she’s incredibly anxious to get her pre-baby body back!).

It’s a sad (and somewhat terrifying!) statistic that kids these days are more overweight than ever. Incidences of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease are on the rise at astronomical rates in generations younger than ever before. In fact, I heard a statistic the other day that was downright terrifying. For the first time in recorded history, our generation is expected to live longer than our children. Because these diseases are climbing at such an alarming rate our current life expectancy is projected to be longer than it is for our children. That’s alarming! It’s shocking, terrifying, and downright awful. In an age where information and technology is literally available at our fingertips, physical activity, make believe, and imaginative play are literally dying (not wanting to be hypocritical at all – it’s been a battle to get my 6-year-old to give up the game controller).

The good thing is it doesn’t have to be this way! There are things that you can do right now as mom and dad (or other care giver) that can increase your child’s activity level immediately. They don’t have to be difficult to be life-changing to be effective. For example… …
