See How A Mum Lost 20kg & Became A Great Role Model For Her Kids
This is such a cool (& real) video!
As you know, being a parent carries with it a ‘truck-load’ of responsibility. We all
know that most of the behavior that our little ones carry through in life is shaped
in the ages of 0-7 years old. They call this the imprint period in childhood behavior
development.
Setting a good health example during this period is especially important. If Mum &
Dad are slobs and sit on the couch all day and eat crap food; well guess what…?
You get the drift.
As personal trainers, one of our key drivers is to help motivate a parent (client) to
change their eating and exercise habits. And, in turn, watch that parent pay these
habits forward to their kids and before you know it, they become a healthy family
again! This puts a big smile on our face because it’s so rewarding to see that we’ve
had a hand in this.
We call this the Pay It Forward principal (based on the movie). It’s about helping
those around you get better. By Paying It Forward to your kids or other family
members or your mates, you influence your Circle Of Influence, which in turn
helps you as well.
So your take home tip from this article is to simply Pay It Forward, start Being an
example to others around you.
