Labor day is the day that we celebrate the workers who helped build this great Country and continue to do so to this day. The American workforce is the best in the World and has instilled a work ethic that is second to none.
The end result of this work ethic is a quality lifestyle. Rewards such as home ownership, a Family, food on the table, vacations and retirement all come as a result of hard work.
So we work hard at work, but we don’t always work hard for our bodies! Why is that? Your health is everything and if you want to enjoy the fruits of your labor, you have to be healthy enough to enjoy it.
So let’s start now. Let’s start fresh. Let’s help our children develop a healthy lifestyle work ethic. And by work, I mean workout! Just an hour of aerobic activity per day can make a huge difference in your child’s overall health. All they have to do is go outside and play hard! On rainy days, they can exercise inside. For more exercise ideas, please visit my website, www.mykidsbfit.com .
Let’s work at healthy eating habits as well. The next time the kids come in and ask for a snack, give them a healthy snack like an apple with some low fat peanut butter, a banana cut up and put in milk or carrots & celery with fat free ranch dressing.
It takes a bit of work at first, but once kids get into a healthy routine, they will enjoy the fruits of their labor.
Happy Labor Day everyone!
