1. Play a game!
OUTSIDE….not on the television!!! Tag, Red Light-Green Light, chasing your sister ... ok, not that ... but, almost anything will do…just get moving!
|
7. Make it a Family Affair!
Ask your mom or dad to go with you ... they will help to motivate and enjoy time with you!
|
2. Start Walking!
Lots of kids (and adults) get turned off running by overdoing it. Try walking first ... then, slowly introduce running.
|
8. Get the look!
Nothing makes a sport more fun than having the right outfit!
|
3. Find a buddy!
Friend, Dog, Martian ... As long as you can keep talking to your
buddy during your run/walk… your pace is good!
|
9. Wear the right shoes!
Nothing stops a runner in their tracks like sore feet. Get fitted for proper shoes at a running store like Running Fit!
|
4. Go Team!!!
No need to go to Beijing, you have Olympic events in your own town! Go to a Track Meet at the Local High School ... Student Athletes Rock!!
|
10. Start a School Running Club!
Ask your favorite teacher or principal to help you get started!
|
5. Sign up for a Fun Run!
Being PART of the race is exciting! Have your parents help you find a local race!
|
|
6. Cut out the sugar!
Sweets and Soda Pop taste great, but leave you feeling like a big slug!
