Encouraging Indoor Physical Education

Physical activity is good for coordination, weight control, and general well being. It's also just plain fun.

It's not uncommon to enter a room find my husband like this,

or me like this.

So it's not surprising that our kids do this.

Encouraging physical education is something that comes naturally to my family, but it doesn't come so easy to everyone. It's so important to good health.

Simple equipment can go a long way to encourage indoor physical activity. Tucked into the corner of our living room kids can find a mini trampoline, jump ropes, hula hoop, and stilts.

They often bounce between reading a story and working through a math lesson. Kids need activity and having some fun equipment available in the room can go a long way to creating life-long good physical health.
