[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can’t they stay active? I’m doing online power yoga every day, plus running every afternoon. We also have free weights in the garage. Kids can still play outdoors every day. Have them help with yard work. Walk the dog. Ride bikes. Go for hikes. There is no reason to be sedentary right now. [/quote] nope. Our hiking trails are closed. Our dog is a monster lab who will pull them to the ground. Yard work, yes, the do it, but it isn't particularly calorie burning? Free weights aren't either My kids are 9 and 12. What will they play outdoors? And btw playing is wonderful, but it isn't exercise. Bottom line --there will be weight gain. The key is to moderate food intake. [/quote] My teen took up running. Was never a runner. Now running and walking 10+ miles a day. Wish I was as inclined! [/quote]
