Keeping fit and healthy starts in
the home. Kids need physical activity to build strength, coordination, and
confidence and it is the parent’s responsibility to lay the groundwork for a
healthy lifestyle. How can you do this, you ask? The answer is simple – engage
in physical activities with them and make it a daily habit.

For kids, fitness means playing
and being physically active. Once they enter nursery
until they get to big school, exercise comes in the form of playing tag with
friends, P.E. classes, and attending organized sports such as basketball or
swimming. However, parents can no longer rely on physical education in schools
to provide enough physical activity for kids. They need to play a more active
role and make fitness a family routine.

flexibility, aerobic dancing involves heart-pumping movements and is a great
way to improve coordination and memory. Make your way to Slimmers World on Mach 8(9:30
a.m. to 12:00 p.m.) in their Megamall branch and March 22 (9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.)in Trafalgar Makati branch for a

Paddle and create bubbles under water as The Legend Villas hosts a swimming class on March 29 |
Swimming is one of the best
workouts you can give your body as it activates almost all of your muscle
groups at the same time. Since you’re floating in water, there’s less pressure
on your joints and bones, and it almost seems like you’re not really exercising.
Rounding up the Mom and Me Fun To Be Fit series is a swimming class with Coach
Herman Brinas as hosted by The Legend
Villason March 29(9:00 a.m. to 11:30
p.m.). Paddle, kick, and soak the sun, it’s a fun fitness activity for a
Saturday afternoon.
