Welcome to Week 1 of Fit Family Fun! This week, we're kicking things off with a family health assessment. This assessment will help you understand where your family currently stands in terms of nutrition, physical activity, sleep, hydration, and screen time. By taking the time to assess your family's health together, you're taking the first step towards creating a healthier lifestyle for everyone. We're excited to see the positive changes you'll make as a family!

Assessing Your Family’s Health

Take time to reflect on your current habits and routines as a family. Use the following questions to guide a conversation with your loved ones, allowing everyone to share their thoughts. Be honest and open as you explore each area, and use this as a starting point to set meaningful goals for the rest of the program.

  • Nutrition: What kinds of meals do we typically eat? Are we getting a balance of nutritious foods, and how can we involve the whole family in healthier meal planning and preparation?

  • Physical Activity: How often do we move as a family? What types of activities do we enjoy doing together, and where could we add more movement to our routine?

  • Hydration: How much water does your family drink each day? Do you tend to choose water over sugary drinks?

  • Sleep & Rest: How many hours of sleep does each family member get on average? Do we feel well-rested in the morning? How do our daily routines impact our energy levels and overall well-being?

  • Emotional & Mental Well-Being: How do we support each other emotionally? Are there moments of stress or tension that we could manage better, and how can we create more calm in our daily lives?

  • Screen Time: How much time do we family spend in front of screens each day? Can we find ways to reduce screen time and be more active?
