Getting Active

We're working harder than ever, but we're hooked on convenience. We don't even get up off the couch to change the channel on the TV anymore (and our kids never knew life before remote controls). But getting off the couch isn't an option, it's a necessity — sitting around is literally killing us, and our kids!

Just as you are your children's food coach (and homework marshal, personal counselor, and everything else!), you're also their fitness coach. Here are some ways to coach that dream team to the fitness championships — for life!
