All Together Now: The Benefits of Family Exercise

There's strength in numbers—literally—when it comes to getting fit

All Together Now: The Benefits of Family Exercise Date updated: December 08, 2006 Content provided by Revolution Health Group

There’s strength in numbers—literally—when it comes to getting fit. Beyond all of the usual benefits of regular exercise (looking great, staying healthier, getting stronger and relieving stress), there are extra perks for folks who get fit with their spouse and/or kids

These less-stress, more-talk benefits extend to the next generation too. “What you tell your kids to do is like a whisper, but what you actually do is like a scream,” says Yeager. “When you make fitness a fun part of kids’ everyday lives, they’ll be more likely to exercise when they’re grown. That’s your greatest gift to them.” And with a recent study finding that as many as one-third of American kids are not physically fit, it’s a gift truly worth giving.
