A Note from the Medical Editor |
As the winter months grow colder and hours of sunlight grow shorter, it can be harder for your family to keep up with their New Year's fitness goals. But, don’t let physical inactivity be a result of the dreary weather.
Keep your kids active and off the couch by trying some winter sports such as skiing, skating, or sledding. You could even check out a local children’s museum or walk around the mall – any opportunity to get them up and moving is a good one!
