If you want to boost your kids' immune systems, spend time exercising with them every day. When most adults think about exercise, they imagine working out in the gym on a treadmill or lifting weights. If you have a teenager, consider taking him/her to workout at the gym with you. Family exercise can be a great avenue for you to observe your kids' behaviors and energy output. Walk them to the bus stop; coach them during soccer and baseball practice, and take them swimming. You can watch to make sure they are perky and having fun while on your weekend hikes and bike trips.

As a new mom, you can take a run while pushing your new baby in a jogging stroller. Family exercise can be a great avenue for you to observe your kids' behaviors and energy output.

In family sports, parents also look to ensure their children are exhibiting traits of team work and healthy competition. To health-conscious parents, it is not just about "exercise" but also involves an opportunity to bond and share in the joy being with their kids' peers.

Exercise also generates mood-stabilizing serotonin within the brain, producing a feeling of wellbeing and mental stability. 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise is minimal for a healthy child. Exercise is not only fun but it also generates mental benefits that last all day long. Remember that exercise relieves stress and promotes a "tiredness" that is an antecedent to a good night's sleep.

So for all you health-conscious parents, be cool-exercise with your kids. After all, it creates a stronger bond with your children and is also good for you!
