Top tips for getting kids more active

Here's some top tips to get you started:

• Walk, run and play with your children. By being active with them you are setting a good example.
• If your children are not usually active, start with something fun like a trip to the local playground.
• Instead of short car trips, try walking, biking or scooting with your children.
• Encourage your children to play outside as much as possible.
• Try to do something fun and active as a family each week. Some ideas are rolling down a grass bank, playing tag, walking along the beach or taking a trip to your local pool.
• Limit the amount of time your children spend watching TV or in front of a screen to less than one hour per day.
