80 HAWAII PARENT March/April 2024 Incorporating fun, fitness, and family bonding time into your children’s daily routine can be simpler and more enjoyable than you might think. Living in Hawaii, we are fortunate to have access to an assortment of indoor as well as outdoor activities year-round. Enjoying the beach twice a week, running a mile, kicking a ball further than ever, shooting hoops are just a few ideas. Improvement of mental health, agility, coordination, stronger bones and muscles, better focus, quality of sleep, teamwork and stress reduction are a few benefits we gain from our exercise regime. The YMCA is committed to the health of our community, and with the following tips, you can effectively promote fitness, healthy eating, and family bonding in engaging ways. by Jenny Ostlind, CSCS, NSCA, Membership and Healthy Lifestyle Program Executive, YMCA of Honolulu
