Playtime at Monkey Joe’s Is Good for the Heart

Posted on Feb 23, 2017

Did you make a New Year's resolution to have more fun, spend more time together, and make healthier choices as a family? Don't feel bad if you've already let it fall by the wayside. The best ways to practice good health with your kids is to make it fun! Exercise makes for a healthy heart, better sleep, and a happier mind and body. Exercise is just as important for children as eating healthy snacks. But just like you don't want to hit the gym at 5am, your kids don't want to run laps in school or do jumping jacks before breakfast. So why not make it fun with active playtime?

What does active playtime afterschool for your boys and girls mean? Kids of all ages should get a minimum of an hour a day of exercise for them to stay in good health and have a happy heart. Parents should be a good role model for exercise with their kids. Take your kids for a walk or bike ride in the evenings. If the weather is nice, visit the local park as a family. If the weather isn't cooperating, visit Monkey Joe's Katy. We're open rain or shine! Playtime at Monkey Joe's will give your kids fun fitness playtime like no other. In fact, they'll be having so much fun they won't even realize it's good for them!

February isn't just the month for Valentine's Day and sharing love with your sweetie. It is also a month to spread the love by making heart-healthy choices. February is American Heart Month, which reminds us to make heathy choices to help keep those hearts pumping for years to come. There are a lot of heart benefits from exercise at Monkey Joe's Katy. So let your kids run, jump, swing, slide, and play their way to healthier hearts!
