Ben Talks About the Importance of Setting a Good Example to Our Children

Hey, this is Ben Greenfield. I thought you'd like this little clip of my latest podcast, and I think here's what's important. They saw their parents doing it the right way, and I find that with my kids, a lot of times, rather than me talking to them or trying to convince them to do something, I just go out and do it. Like yesterday, I was kicking my own ass, running around the yard, hauling sandbags, carrying buckets, preparing for the Spartan race that my boys and I are racing this weekend. Well, an hour later, as I'm inside preparing dinner, I look out the window and my boys are carrying buckets around the yard, stopping and doing burpees, running. I didn't say a thing to them. Right? They just saw dad doing it and realized that this was a good, cool thing to do. And in many cases, that's what it comes down to is being a good example. You can always make stuff up. But no, seriously, what do you eat? If you enjoyed this clip, you should check out the whole episode and a host of other topics over@BenGreenfield Fitness.com. have an amazing day.
