Back to school is here. Kids are getting back into the rhythm of classes, homework, and sports. Many parents and grandparents find themselves on the sidelines—watching, waiting, and cheering from the stands. Supporting your children and grandchildren is important. But there’s another opportunity right in front of you. This season can also be a reminder to take care of your own health and create more meaningful time together.
Back to School Brings Sports And Movement
School sports bring back practice schedules, games, and plenty of opportunities for kids to grow their skills. But outside of those scheduled practices, kids still want to kick a soccer ball, shoot hoops, or simply play catch in the backyard. This is where you can step in—not just as a cheerleader, but as an active participant in their world.
Imagine heading outside after dinner to help your child or grandchild practice their sport, not sitting in a chair scrolling your phone. Instead, moving with them, playing alongside them, and showing them that being active doesn’t stop when you become an adult. It’s in these moments that you create connection, strengthen bonds, and model what it means to live a healthy, active lifestyle.
Building Strength And Stamina For Back to School
To do that, your body needs to be ready. Building a consistent exercise routine that includes both aerobic activity and strength training helps give you the energy and stamina to keep up, and the mobility and strength to move without hesitation. Aerobic exercise helps you chase after the soccer ball without feeling winded. Strength training helps you swing a bat, toss a football, or get down on the ground with your grandkids—and stand back up with ease.
And it’s not just about today. The choices you make now will carry into the future. By prioritizing your health, you’ll be able to enjoy moments like these for years to come -staying in the game with your kids and grandkids rather than watching from the sidelines.
