2. The Grupo Mayan resorts in Mexico have many
families visit us for their family vacations each
year. While at one of our Grupo Mayan resorts
families are able to spend quality time together
participating in our many exciting activities. The
Grupo Mayan staff urges parents to continue
keeping your children active when you return
home from your vacation. The Grupo Mayan
health and fitness pros have some great advice
on teaching to kids about health and fitness.

3. The Grupo Mayan pros say that by getting your
children interested in their health and excited
about exercise you can create lifelong habits
that will lead to great health and fitness when
they are adults.

4. Do as I say do, not as I do

5. Does not fly with the Grupo Mayan health and fitness
pros and it probably doesn´t not work with your kids
either. If you tell your kids to get out of the house
and exercise while you stay inside and play
computer games your children will not have much
interest in getting outside. Most kids will want to
spend time with their parents and if that means
staying inside, that is what they will do. Find
exercises, like biking and going on walks, that you
can do with your family. Exercising together as a
family is the first step to creating kids who love to
keep fit.

6. Try to keep your kids time spent
playing video games and watching
TV to a minimum

7. A little of each can be good but if your child sits in front
to a TV for hours on end or is constantly playing video
games you may be on your way to raising a
professional couch potato. Get your kids moving, say
the Grupo Mayan health and fitness professionals, by
scheduling lots of family activities and encouraging
your kids to participate in sports. When the weather
gets cold you can join a recreation center with a pool
and work out facilities to keep your exercise program
going during these cold months. Most rec centers offer
family memberships at a discount.

8. Try new things

9. You can get your kids excited by finding new and
unique ways to get moving. Think of activities
your children will like and schedule classes for the
whole family to take. Rock wall climbing is very
popular these days and kids love the feeling of
accomplishment they get when getting to the top.
The Grupo Mayan health and fitness pros tell us a
great family activity is to take scuba diving
certification classes together. That way, when you
return on your next Grupo Mayan holiday, you can
go scuba diving off our beautiful coasts.

10. Change the way you eat
Prepare family meals that use fresh vegetables
and other healthy ingredients.

11. The Grupo Mayan health and fitness professionals
hope these ideas will be useful to you and your
family. We look forward to seeing you soon.
