Your best bet is to take a simple, natural approach to eating healthy and getting your family fit. Just by implementing a few healthy steps into your family routine you are making a move in the right direction.
 You always want to eat healthy meals. Your children are going to follow your examples, so if they see you trying new foods and adding activity into your life, they are apt to follow your lead. You don't have to totally revamp your meals, just try adding some extra vegetables to your next dinner, cut back on the potatoes and meat portions and your meal is healthier all ready.
For desserts you can start by adding in fruit smoothies or angel food cake with strawberries and blueberries. Your children won't even realize they are eating healthier. Recruit your kids into helping you plan a dinner once a week. Pizza doesn't have to be off the menu, make a homemade one where you can control the toppings that you add. Substitute ice cream with frozen yogurt for a delicious treat.
Your next step is to incorporate fitness into your family's routine. Maybe you can do a family nature hike or walk. Even going swimming together is a great way to spend quality time and have fun together. Make everything you do fun, even if it is trying to do sit-ups and push-ups together, get your children to choose some activities that they would like to do and join in with them. If your kids see you struggling while attempting new moves they will not be embarrassed to join in and attempt them too.
 By incorporating fitness into your life you are giving each other the chance to spend more time together, which allows for more conversations and the chance to really understand what your child is doing at school and with friends. With so many of us working hectic schedules, spending quality time with our children can be easily over looked.
The whole secret of family fitness is to have every member doing their part and working as a team. This way you are more likely to succeed and reach your goals. Take action and get fit together.
