Before: Exercise? Easy to blow off. “We all had bikes, but I couldn’t remember the last time we’d used them,” Kathleen admits. Dr. Oz’s advice: Make family time exercise time. Play tag, kick a soccer ball, or take a walk around your neighborhood.
After: Family time equals active time. The Carrolls have started biking together every weekend. “At first, Peyton complained that Dillon was ahead of him, but each time we have more fun,” Randy says. And Kathleen (plus Randy when his work schedule allows) now takes morning power walks.
Also fun: Ethos Fitness and Spa for Women in Midland Park, New Jersey, where Kathleen is a member, taught the family how to create an at-home obstacle course. “We made fitness stations in our driveway—one for jumping rope, another for shooting hoops, another for hopscotch,” Kathleen says.
