Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting.

    Vermont Life Reviews Fit Family

    Posted by Dick Mansfield in Heidi HillFit Familybook review

    Vermont Life coverThe Fall issue of Vermont Life has a nice review of Heidi Hill's Fit Family

    The article says in part ...."Not only does her book encourage parents to stay active through the hectic child-rearing years, she recommends the benefits of exercising as a family for the kids, too, since it helps them learn healthy lifestyles at an early age and avoid childhood obesity, a major health Fit Family coverproblem..... Perhaps most helpful of all is Hill's positive, can-do attitude. Plan, be flexible but be sure to get out and exercise is her advice. Her book will help parents find feasible and creative ways of getting and staying healthy."

    Seven Days features Fit Family by Heidi Hill

    Posted by Dick Mansfield in Heidi HillFit Familybook review

    From Seven Days, a weekly regional independent newspaper:
    by Sarah Tuff
    "One of the biggest milestones in my new son’s life wasn’t when he smiled for the first time (five weeks), when he rolled over for the first time (three months), or when he began to sit up (five months). It was when he turned eight weeks — which meant I could take him along with his older sister to my gym’s nursery.

    Fit Family ImageNot that the nursery is a perfect solution. There I routinely see teary-eyed toddlers and wailing babies clinging to their parents, ignoring the entreaties of the warm and well-qualified staff.  Mom or Dad or both, desperate for an hour — or 45 minutes or 30 minutes or 15 damned minutes — of exercise, plead and cajole until they finally admit defeat and turn their backs on the kids. Luckily, my own offspring have become accustomed to and even love the gym nursery. But they still have their moments, as do I, when a morning workout feels more like World War III.  It doesn’t have to be this way.  Nor do I need to stay stranded at home, packing on the calories from leftover mac-’n’-cheese with no way to work them off. As Waterbury’s Heidi Hill writes in her new book, Fit Family: The Infant, Toddler, and Preschool Years, families can learn to exercise with their kids, almost as soon as they arrive in this world."
