Why Your Kids Should See You Working Out

As a coach and parent, I’ve seen firsthand that the most powerful thing you can do for your child’s health isn’t what you say... it’s what you do. Trust me, I've tried both.

That includes what you eat, how you talk about your body, and especially whether or not they see you move.

Kids Learn Through Watching

Children are wired to copy what they see.

If you’re always tired, skipping movement, or complaining about your body, they’ll internalise that as normal.

But if they see you making time to move, even when life is busy…
If they see you sweat, struggle, and finish anyway…
If they hear you celebrate what your body can do instead of picking it apart...

That becomes the foundation of their relationship with movement and health.

Working Out Isn’t Just For You

Whether it’s 10 minutes of stretching, a WOD at the gym, or a walk around the block, every time you train, you’re showing your kids:

• That effort matters

• That health is worth protecting

• That adults can grow, fail, and keep going

You're showing them that movement is part of life... not something you “have to” do, but something you choose to do.
