[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't keep calling it "exercising". Instead, I'd say "Hey, let's (walk, hike, jog, other activities) together. Then maybe we can (have a fro-yo, watch a movie, make a pizza at home, other things that DD likes to do) afterwards. At the beginning, the goal is to make her feel positive after a work-out. My DD joined the girls on the run (heart and sole for middle schoolers) last year. She used to complain a lot when we asked her to walk or hike (not even a jog). Now she has a much better stamina and very motivated to run with her friends during practice.[/quote] Also, to the extent possible, leave the car in the driveway and walk - to the post office, to the store, to the bus stop to take you to the mall, etc. [/quote]
