If you\u2019re like most of us, you made a list of things you\u2019d like to change this year, but as a Together Counts\u2122 Energy Balance Ambassador, I\u2019ve got one simple thing I\u2019d like you to add to your resolutions list: <strong>be more active with your family<\/strong>. Why? Well, because spending time with your kids bonding and working on your energy balance is pretty much the best thing you can do for the emotional and physical well-being of the whole family. But, since \u201cbe more active with my family\u201d is kind of a vague resolution (and since I\u2019m such a nice gal), I\u2019m going to give you three practical, concrete ways to get active with your crew this year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1) Get outside in the cold. <\/strong>I know it\u2019s cold outside in most parts of the country, but if you wait until it gets warm to get started with this resolution, it\u2019s probably never going to happen. Last year (like most of the country) we had the WORST winter ever, but my family still managed to make it an active one. We found that if you bundle up well enough, everyone can benefit from 15 -30 minutes of playing outside in the cold (especially if there\u2019s snow to distract from the temps). Turn \u201cFreeze Tag\u201d into a literal game and get busy outside with the kiddos. Running around with those stir-crazy babies of yours will warm you up in no time. Other great winter energy balance activities include ice skating, indoor swimming (waterpark hotels make a great day outing!), and if you\u2019re a member, hitting your local rec center or YMCA to see what they have to offer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) Put activity on the calendar. <\/strong>Schedules are crazy these days, they just ARE. (We\u2019re in the stage of life where every weekend our kids are invited to at least one birthday party \u2013 exhausting, right?) Mark my words, unless you put family activity on the calendar, something else will jump on that schedule and take its place. So take a tip from a busy mom who has been there: put a family energy balance activity on the schedule \u2013 at least once a month \u2013 and make it sacred.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3) Let the kids help you plan.\u00a0<\/strong>To truly make staying active together a resolution you can keep, let your kiddos help you plan the activities when you\u2019re putting them on the calendar. Tap into their interests and feed them! Getting kids excited about active family time will only serve to get YOU genuinely excited about it and committed to keeping it up. Because if you\u2019re a parent, you know what I mean when I say I do all kinds of things I never thought I would (Pokemon cards, anyone?), because my kids are excited about them. When they get excited and joyful about an activity, so do I.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t delay, friends! Take a good look at your resolutions list and make room to add \u201cbe active with the family\u201d near the TOP. I promise it\u2019s one resolution you and your kiddos will be so glad you made &#8211; and kept.<\/p>\n<p>What are your favorite ways to stay active in your family, especially in the winter months?<\/p>\n<p><em>Jenny Rapson is a writer and social media project manager who lives in southwest Ohio with her husband of thirteen years and their three great kiddos.
