Being active helps improve your cardiovascular health and reduces your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. It also strengthens your body and helps you reduce stress. Being active as a family helps everyone develop good habits for taking care of themselves. Give kids a chance to plan and lead activities, picking a new park or leading on the trail to make being active fun.
