You can buy vidios that get your child to move along with them. It's more like playing a game then exersising. They sell them in walmart but I can't remember the name of them.

Make an obstacle course. Everyone (including you) get's got go through it. Dance to a CD (Wiggles are great for this). Just move. Go for a walk. Run around in the back yard. Play in the snow. If you move and make it part of the routine, they will go with it.

Healthy recipes... I love Sneaky Chef. Not because you have to do it to get those veggies in, but becuas ethey are really healthy meals/food and the kids generally like them. We all could do well with eating healthier. Use whole wheat (or at least blends) instead of white, less processed instead of all processed. Stuff like that goes a long long way. Good luck.

Kids are mimics at this age. Having a two year old has challenged me to set a better example. She will eat what I eat. If I'm eating fruit and veggies, then she wants them too. And if I'm working out, she wants to come along and join in. Your toddler will follow your lead, whether you like it or not, lol.
