School is out for summer.
While summer is a great time for fun and relaxation, don't' let your kids relax so much that they become couch potatoes. Inactivity is a key cause of childhood obesity. Encourage physical activity most days of the week. Try camp, playing outdoors, family outings or even trips to the community pool. Activity can also include family jobs such as, walking the dog, washing the car, mowing the lawn or sweeping the driveway, and all require physical activity.
