Start the New Year Healthy and Happy at Monkey Joe’s!

Posted on Dec 13, 2016

Keep your kids healthy and active with playtime at Monkey Joe's! Make family fun a New Year’s Resolution!

Active Kids are Healthy Kids

The guidelines from the Department of Health and Human Services say your kids (ages 6 and older) should get at least an hour of exercise each day—and that exercise should be moderate to vigorous.

Playtime at school and PE class help, but they since kids don’t always get PE and recess, it’s good to plan for extra playtime after school. This year, resolve to be a good role model and be active with your kids! Schedule walks or bike rides in the evenings, or even a trip to the local park. Weather outside not cooperating? Take them to Monkey Joe’s in Katy! Monkey Joe’s indoor playground always has the perfect weather for play! Their inflatables will have your kids bouncing that extra energy out and getting that needed hour of activity. There is even a Mini Monkey Zone for toddlers!

No matter what you do this coming year, know that exercising with your child is not just good for your health, but for theirs, too. Active children usually grow up to be active adults, so instill those good habits early! Kids who get enough exercise have less risk of developing heart problems, high blood pressure and obesity. They will be happier and healthier!

Resolve to make every day a healthy, fit one in 2017! Head to Monkey Joe’s today and buy a frequent jumper pass. It will save you money, and will keep your kids happy! No matter what the weather’s like outside, an indoor playground always offers a climate-controlled place to play!
