These days kids are into video games. If you want to help get them interested in fitness you can play video games with them. Make sure you use the Wii (or PlayStation Move has a new game system out as well) so you all play video games that get you up and moving.
Wii Fitness is an excellent game to start out with. You can find the Wi Fit Package Deal online, in discount stores and even stores at the mall. With the Wi Fit you will get the actual game that you put into your Wii and a board. You can stand on the board and weigh yourself. The game will keep track of your weight, how much you want to lose, when and how long you exercise and if you are heading towards your goal.
You can start out with a few easy games or so you think. There are skiing games that let you race each other. For this game you will not have to stand on the Wi Fit board. You each will have a controller and use it to steer yourself.
