When you have children I think most people get out a lot more than prior to kids, I know we have

Having children has made me more active than I was before, my parents took us out a lot as kids, walking and to the beach, and I wanted my children to experience that too. Now we are a family we definitely do more outdoorsey stuff than we did as a couple and we all enjoy it.

Sometimes we need to remind ourselves to get active too and the children should follow

I am active in the sense that i move around those house to clean, draw and we just walk to and from pre-school. I also saw that topic and it made me think on how I can be more active. We are starting to go out more to experience the sites around us. Your post is a great in a way that it reminds us that its not all hugs and kisses but we need to move as well if we love our LOs. Happy Mums Day.

You are very right. We need to more active I think but this is due to the weather over here being not so good lately. Roll othe summer when we will never be inside!!

Children learn by example whether it is a mum, dad or other significant person in their lives.
My girls are very happy to read-for ages, which I love but I am pleased that they’ve seen us in races and out running so they will hopefully take an interest in years to come. X

Great post! I have regularly started walking to school with Grace – a) to set her a good example and b) to get fitter myself. We also regularly have a go on the Wii Fit too. I was active as a child and I want her to be the same. Thank you for linking to PoCoLo x

I agree, it can’t all be down to how active the mother is, kids are influenced by so many people around them. I’m like you, running around after monkey constantly, and he is on the go alll the time, so far not a child to sit and watch the TV for any length of time (no matter how much I wish he would on occasion so I could get a rest ). We do like to keep him active but I don’t think it;s fair to blame it entirely on the mum as like you say, those who work and don;t get a chance to be active with their kids shouldn’t be made to feel guilty for it. Interesting post Karen xx #pocolo

I endorse this is true. I am an active mum, love to be loaded with tons of things. So do my daughter.

I love a good bit of peer reviewed, empirical research…but this seems a bit simplistic to me. I’m left wondering what impact an active father has on their children? #mmwbh
