It is National Exercise With Your Child Week! And Healthy Contributions is all in for supporting it! National Exercise With Your Child Week is here to act as a reminder that running, jumping, skipping, swimming, game playing and so many other things can be a fun way to get in shape, burn calories and bond together as a family. Challenge the kids to a game of basketball, or pump up those bike tires and go on a ride out in nature. It doesn’t really matter what the activity is, as long as it gets the heart rate up for a few minutes and creates emotional bonding opportunities for all of the members of the family!

I have one light Friday story to share: Sports might seem harsh on children, especially in today’s overprotective climate. One of the most valuable lessons sports taught me is resilience. I practiced artistic swimming, and I was the youngest member of the national team. For those unfamiliar, artistic swimming involves choreography movements to music in the water, where you perform nearly breathlessly for a few minutes. We use nose clips to keep water out of our lungs and stomach, but incidents can occur and you lose your clip during the routine. When that happens, the coach's directive is clear: Keep going! Everything slows down, and your only focus is finishing the routine, and surviving. They train you to persevere, no matter what, because there are no second chances. While it may seem harsh, it shapes you so that no obstacles can prevent you from reaching your goal. PS. By reaching forty, we've accumulated a wealth of life experience. Looking back, I often wonder—how many lives have I lived so far?

For people in the Northern Hemisphere, it’s summer and you might be inspired to get outdoors to move more. But the weather is getting too warm in some places for people to exercise safely outside. We know that adults should aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity weekly. This can include exercises such as brisk walking, biking, playing basketball, swimming and more vigorous household tasks like mowing the lawn and vacuuming, also called functional fitness. But is that all safe to do at high temperatures? https://cnn.it/4ezrcQx

When we prioritize our physical health, we prioritize our mental health. And it’s all the more rewarding when we realize we don’t have to do it alone. That’s why our Stronger Together group was born — to form a community of people who exist to help each other live their healthiest lives, physically and mentally. Together, our team has scaled +350 miles through walking, running, skiing, and kayaking and so much more. From marathon training, team competitions, weight loss, injury recoveries, we’re proud of our team for holding one another accountable in-person and virtually – pushing each other to get 1% better each and every day!
