Family Fitness
Many people ask me how I get to maintain such a tight relationship with my wife and kids while staying busy with my health and fitness business and all the other things I do. I never have really thought about it or planned it in a certain way, but when people ask me that question, I realize that some people don’t have that luxury.
I can honestly say that it is easy. I just include them with everything I do. When I am working out, they do it with me. It’s one of the benefits of working out at home. This allows the whole family to be involved. Even though they don’t actually workout with you at times, seeing me exercise sets a great example of a healthy lifestyle to my kids.
Living A Lifestyle of Fitness
Beachbody fitness is not a one time thing. It is a lifestyle thing. It is something we do on a daily basis, not just when we need to lose weight or look good for a special occassion. It is being able to choose the right foods to feed our body and being consistent before it’s too late.
My kids lead a healthy lifestyle themselves because they are educated on what bad foods do to a human body. It is all just educating them and showing by example that leads them to make their own healthy decisions in life. I don’t have to talk them into eating this instead of that. As a matter of fact, they get on my tail on days that I have a sweet tooth.
Sometimes I’ll see them doing p90x or Insanity workout moves and it makes me feel good because they make it part of their lives without me needing to ask them to. Kids do what daddy and mommy do, not necessarily what we say most of the time. Parents can agree with me on that I’m sure. Parents learn a lot from their kids.
Fitness Works
So all in all, fitness works in mysterious ways. Not just for your body, but for your whole family’s well being. It is something that trickles all the way down generations if done properly. Lead by example, and you won’t have to beg your children to eat healthy most of the time. Just educate them on why you eat healthy and why you don’t eat bad food all the time. Kids don’t want bad things in their lives at a young age, and if you start them young, they will grow to keep that in mind.
