"It is getting warm, let's get outside boys!" This statement will always bring positive energy through the many springs that have come and gone. That statement is a call to movement for 
our whole family. Movement outdoors, a movement powered by the warmth of the sun creeping just a little closer to us.
The natural energy of Spring pulls us from our indoor cocoons and to the awakening outdoors. Younger kids gravitate towards finding blossoming flowers and looking for bugs that are awakening from their slumber. While older kids get excited to start soccer or meet up with friends to run around with. Parents start preparing for their first run or getting their bikes ready for the first spring ride. There are endless options to choose from to get our families moving.
Designate a time each week for your family to move together and let your children choose what they would like to do with you. A family that moves together, stays healthy together! Outdoor activity is a wonderful way to connect as a family. Even your older children will forget that they are hanging out with their "dorky" parents while they are busy having fun moving their bodies. Movement (exercise) is one the most powerful natural medicines we have to use, and oftentimes for free!
