With the passing of Memorial Day, the unofficial start of summer is here! Getting the kiddos moving and keeping them active during the summer months can be a chore, especially since school is out and there’s so much technology. Video games, computers, and other gadgets can make for inactivity. HERSHEY’s is committed to helping promote an active lifestyle, and are sponsoring HERSHEY’s Family Play Days across the country. Here in St. Louis, I will be on hand for HERSHEY’s Family Play Day, which is being held this Wednesday, May 29th—for more information on that event, click HERE.
In addition to hosting HERSHEY’s Play Day St. Louis, I am also giving away a prize pack of some pretty neat goodies!

How do I plan to stay active this summer? I will be doing yoga, taking neighborhood walks, and getting some swimming in at our neighborhood pool. Staying active is a part of being healthy and instilling good habits in our kids.
Happy summer, everyone!

We plan to stay active by walking. I’ve been actively walking for about 7 weeks and can now do my route about 15 minutes faster than when I started. I chose a route that includes two hills. I walk down one and up the other and then turn around and do the route in reverse so that I get the benefit of walking (well actually huffing) up both hills. My daughter lives in a different city and she walks to and from work. She just moved a little bit farther from her work, but continues to walk. She also sometimes walks on her days off.
Iam behind with getting the ball rolling (no pun intended LOL), but we plan to stay active by doing daily walks in the park and lots of outdoor activities.

I don’t have kids but I love babysitting for my friends so they can have a date night and love taking the kids down the street to the park and playing frisbee and badminton.
We will be swimming, hiking and going to the park’s playground. There is also rollerskating at the rink on real hot days.
We have so many fun things planned–camping, a variety of sports camps, a road trip, and lots of tennis and swimming. I think I am more excited than my boys for summer to begin!
