Now that winter is finally over, my family is really looking forward to getting more physical activity into our daily schedules. We spend a lot of time outdoors in the warmer months, and love bonding as a family. Some of the things we love doing the most are taking walks together through the neighborhood, heading to the boardwalk and riverfront just a few blocks away, and even heading to any one of the 26 parks in my little Ohio hometown. 

With childhood obesity on the rise, being active as a family is so important. After all, kids learn by example. Making physical activity a routine part of everyday life is sure to teach kids how to grow into active, healthy adults. 

One way to get kids excited about exercising is by turning it into a game where real rewards can be earned. Kids seem to love anything electronic and digital, so why not merge their tech-love with physical activity using the ibitz? 

The ibitz is a pedometer-type device that can be wirelessly synched with your iOS Bluetooth 4.0 devices. (iPhone, iPad) This is not compatible with Android platforms. There are 2 different versions of the ibitz, one for kids and another for parents. These fun units make fitness a fun, family affair!

Here's some info on each model:
