A good reason for your whole family to start the new year with more exercise

A recent study has shown that children's performance in the classroom may be linked to how active they are. This study looked at 14 previous papers and the data gathered from over 12,000 kids. We have known for a long while that the more active a child is the more healthy they are, but now we are shown a link between physical fitness and mental performance. For any parent looking for a way to increase their child's performance in school this is low cost way to help.

This is where you might ask "But how do I get my kids to exercise?". Some may point to the increase in video games, TV and other pressures of our modern life makes it difficult to get kids to exercise. However, the task of getting kids to exercise may be easier to do than you think. According to a 2007 study parents who exercise are likely to have kids who exercise. So the combined point, showing your family that being active is one of your priorities will help them get motivated to be active as well.

Keeping your New Year's resolution to exercise more may be a way to help you children in school and feel good about yourself at the same time.
