1. Have A No Power Hour. Have you ever felt that everyone in the house is a little too engaged with their gadgets? Whether it be the cell phone, tablet, video game or TV, a “No power hour” will encourage them to take a break. Explain to your girls that anything that runs on electricity or battery must be turned off for at least one hour. Help them explore their options by suggesting they go for a walk, jump rope or practice a dance routine to their favorite song. Sometimes we do not realize how much fun life can be until someone gives us a little push!
2. Organize Fitness Play Dates. It may take a little encouragement from their peers to get moving so try planning a fun get together! Make it something that will inspire them to shake things up more often. Cheer Madness LLC offers cheerleader themed birthday parties and play dates where girls learn a cheer/dance routine, work on a craft and play a game.
3. Make Being Active Glamorous. Diamonds are a girl’s best friend but so is fitness! Explaining all of the beauty benefits of being active can be a great way to engage little girls and encourage a healthy lifestyle. Little girls can be especially interested if you can incorporate something shiny or sparkly into their fitness activity.
4. Enroll them in an ongoing class. Let them try out a session of something new, you never know what they will develop a passion for. Belonging to a group, playing a sport or simply attending a class regularly helps girls build leadership skills. Cheer Madness LLC offers non-competitive Cheer classes that encourage girls to work as a team, make healthy choices and set goals for themselves. Learning new techniques in a fun way can boost their confidence and help them feel that they have accomplished something each week.
5. Be An Active Role Model. Get moving with your girls! Having a role model that stays active can show young girls that health and fitness is important to the people that they admire. Go for a bike ride, play mini golf or take a mommy and me fitness class. Cheer Madness LLC offers group “My Grown Up and Me” classes and parties that help parents connect with their daughters and in a fun way!
