Being active can be more fun when you're with someone you love—like your grandchildren! Here are some tips for being active with those special young people in your life:

Infants and toddlers

  • Take them for walks in the stroller
  • Play games that get your bodies moving like Wheels on the Bus or Hide-and-Seek
  • Try a baby-friendly exercise class

School-aged children

  • Play catch, kickball, basketball, or soccer
  • Go swimming or biking together
  • Play a video fitness game together and see who wins

Teens and young adults

  • Try hiking, skating, or tennis
  • Go swimming
  • Ask them to help you in the garden or with heavy-duty household chores
