According to the CDC, 58% of American teenagers (12-15) aren't adequately cardiorespiratory fit, an increase by 10% from 14 years ago. The UK usually follows US trends but this is one we shouldn't be.

1. Lead by example
It's no surprise that we learn lots of life lessons from our families so if you aren't making smart decisions in what you say or do, your children will find it tough too.

2. Limit screen time
It’s next to impossible to make most teenagers do anything but it gets easier to make them not do some things. Set strict TV times, limit console gaming access, create non-texting/social medie hours. Once these temptations dry up, the outside world may seem more interesting.

3. Pick a sport, any sport
It doesn't have to be a sport in the traditional sense, sports cover a wide variety of activities. Take your kid to something new and you may find that they love rock climbing, kayaking, surfing, cycling, Frisbee football, roller derby, rugby. Let your son or daughter’s imagination run wild.

Also remember that you can start a programme of great health with me and get free chewables for your kid! Boom!
