Fitness Can Be Fun For Families!

EVERETT, Wash. - Jan. 20, 2015 - PRLog -- Do you remember as a child when you went outside to play?

Maybe you went to a friend’s house or a local park.

People are reluctant to send their children out alone these days for many reasons.  Getting the family involved in exercise together is a great way to promote fitness.

Maria Luchsinger’s new book, Sammy the Centipede Gets Fit, is a fun way to get families thinking about outside activities all year long.  Sammy and his friends exercise through the seasons.  Children learn how to play the Hot Lava Monster Game on a jungle gym.  You may have played this game or a version of it when you were young.  The Monster’s job is to tag the other players on the gym.  As soon as they are tagged they have to help catch the rest of the players.  The last one tagged is the new Hot Lava Monster.

Sammy’s A to Z alphabet in the back of the book provides many different ways to exercise along with a chart to graph exercise during the week.  The President’s Council on Fitness recommends one hour a day.  When families are playing together, they benefit from the exercise and fitness becomes fun!
