Be a good role model. Your children look to you for support. Sure, they may idolize their favorite sports hero or celebrity. But, when it really comes down to it, if they see you doing something they will be more motivated to try themselves. Remember YOU will have the greatest impact on how your child will be as an adult, not the Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics, Bruins, etc.
Being active is a great way to spend time together as a family. Go on a family hike and do a scavenger hunt, ride bikes together, play sports, just go for a walk and talk.
Consider looking into a local “fun run/walk” road race. Maybe something everyone can train together as a family. Challenge other extended family members.
