7. Involve the Family

This could be the ideal opportunity to make your whole household healthier. It’s much easier to eat more healthily and stay fit if everyone is on board with the plan. Just a few small changes could make your usual family meals healthier. Then after dinner instead of slumping in front of the TV have a post-prandial walk.

Suggest family swimming trips, hikes, or if you are feeling competitive you could all work together training for a fun-run or charity walk.

If you have teens who usually spend most of their time in their bedrooms or engrossed in one gadget or another, it will help you spend quality time with them and hopefully even give you chance to chat.
