We must teach our children to love gym and there is no better method than by example . Behavioral science tells us that people learn primarily by imitation.
Sport can bring the kids on the couch, but I teach physical team sports and life. Too often , when it ends , it is the physical activity of sport, be it for the season or for the rest of his life.
Physical activity should be an important part of the first day you get out of bed .
Have you ever wondered why so many former athletes are finally so out of shape as everyone else ? Physically talented people at one time , they were able - the incredible top of his game, often end up worse off than those who were not athletes. This is partly due to fitness has never been his motivation - not his reason for doing sports .
Sports and Fitness are two different animals and are often at odds with each other . Consider these ideas to see how you will teach your children the value of a life form :
• The realization is an essential component of sport and requires itself " beyond " to make thrust. The higher the pressure the more competition to grow. Pushing himself to do to get the win is often recommended in the sport, but can be dangerous and unhealthy.
• Moderation is the key to a lifestyle of fitness component . You do not get better or a great athlete to practice moderation .
• Fitness is a side effect of doing sports, not a primary goal.
• Comparing yourself to another individual talent can be very intimidating, especially for young people.
• There is almost no " quality assurance " for coaches of children. They may seem harsh , show favoritism or may not be well qualified for the position . It's nice to find volunteers , but it is not a good coach or a bad person.
• Generally , the coach punish " poor performance " by assigning additional healthy activities such as pumps or laps around the track. It teaches children to associate the punishment .
• Competition and butt heads because the gym competition produces winners and losers . Participation is the winner paradigm fitness and everyone involved is a winner.
The greatest beauty in sport is what we see with our eyes - the human spirit trying to reach new heights , the strength of character forged lasting grief and not give up . Victory comes to - do not make one a loser.
A person can not compete with you to achieve your personal best or just to be healthy . The lessons learned in developing a habit of fitness are valuable life lessons - perseverance , moderation and self-esteem .
If parents set an example that there is a possibility that your children will emulate. Teach the skill of your children as a way of life . Teach them self-esteem, teach them how to take care of your body. Walk with your kids. They see that you work while you are at home or go to the gym , a family outing .
Some people thrive in competitive sports . This may be excellent, extraordinary fabulous - wonderful wonderful experience . It may be something for them, but not physically and teaches lifestyle.
If sports teaches children to be in shape is not a country with more than half of our population is overweight and out of shape . Teach love fitness and sports are presented as a separate entity.
