My First Treadmill – Fitness Fun for Kids by iPlay
\n<\/em><\/a>Exercise\u2014just my size! Fitness Fun is a range of fitness equipment for ages 3 and up. Each of our pieces is constructed of sturdy steel frames and features foam padding for safety and comfort. Whether burning off extra energy or pretend playing \u201cjust like Mom and Dad\u201d, there\u2019s no better way to show kids how fun it is to be fit! <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sorry, but I don’t know anyone – let alone “Mom and Dad” – who thinks exercising on a treadmill is fun.\u00a0 Yes, it’s fun to be fit, but the “fun” comes from moving around and – y’know – actually DOING things, like climbing, jumping, tumbling, swinging, and running around.<\/p>\n

When my kids were little, we hit the parks on a regular basis.\u00a0 In bad weather, there was still plenty of stuff for them to do: I had a large gymnastics mat in the house, as well as a mini-trampoline – so they could roll and jump around.\u00a0 They also went galumphing up and down the stairs constantly, or would careen in circuits around the living room\/dining area and kitchen.\u00a0 It should come as no surprise that we limited TV, movies and computer games – so being active came naturally…no need for “grown up” exercise – or exercise equipment.<\/p>\n
