5 Ways Your Heart Benefits From Exercise At Monkey Joe’s

Posted on Feb 08, 2017

We all know that exercise is good for our heart. Parents with kids living in a cold snowy climate might think they don't have many options. Before you give up, consider this.

1 After running, climbing and playing outside your kids will sleep better. Proper, physical activity encourages the body to send the I'm tired message to the brain.

2 Getting 60 minutes of exercise every day will boost your mood. Want happy kids, get them outside.

3 Exercise helps them settle down and concentrate. Just 20 minutes of physical activity before their homework will help improve concentration so they can learn more.

4 It's a great way to make new friends or bond with current ones. Kids that play together on a team form lifelong friendships.

5 Stretching before and after physical activity will improve your balance, which will help you play better. It will also prevent sports injuries-nothing spoils the fun like getting hurt. 

Now that you know why and how to get your kids moving where do you go? It's cold and snowy outside you can't send them to the back yard, and we don't want them running and jumping in the house. Why not take them to Monkey Joe's indoor playground? It's full of all sorts of fun inflatables. Each one a safe, fun way for kids to blow off steam. 

You might be concerned that some of your kids are too small to play with bigger kids. They don't mean too, but all that bouncing is a little much for toddlers. Don't worry, Monkey Joe's has a place just for the littlest ones. It's called Mini Monkey Zone. All the fun of the other indoor playground but just for them. It's never too early to develop good habits.
