Good time for our On Track parents to start running in our adult squad starting this Thursday 4th September.
Can’t wait to see you at the track.
Parents don’t just pass down their DNA—they pass down their lifestyle. 💪✨
A classic study by Moore et al. found that kids with two active parents were almost 6× more likely to be active than kids of inactive parents. Later, Zecevic et al. confirmed it: parental support alone makes children 6× more likely to move consistently.
👉 Translation? Your kids aren’t listening to what you say—they’re watching what you do.
If movement is normal in your household, they’ll treat it as a lifestyle, not punishment.
Breaking it down:
• Active mums = kids 2× more likely to be active
• Active dads = kids 3.5× more likely
• Both active parents = nearly 6× more likely
And it doesn’t stop in childhood. Active kids grow into active adults. That 30-min walk, gym session, or backyard game? It’s more than fitness—you’re literally setting the tone for their entire life.
Every rep. Every run. Every choice to move.
You’re not just training—you’re coaching the next generation. 🏋️♂️👨👩👧👦
