Editors Letter Issue Two
I’ve wondered over the past few weeks whilst putting Issue 2 together for you, whether hours of computer use, eye strain and poor posture whilst working were appropriate when editing a family orientated fitness magazine! So I’ve taken some time to re-set up my workstation to the right height, become aware of the increasing habit to cross my legs, find my glasses and break up my computer use with intervals of movement. This has resulted in more tea drinking, but nonetheless my back is grateful!
Is it time to look at how your family sit at the computer and for how long?
AND!!

A day out at a farm is a great outdoor fun packed activity that offers something for every family member (who can’t resist baby lambs!?) and all bar a tractor ride, it ensures everyone has had a fun-filled lengthy walk. It’s also a chance for children to gain an understanding of where their food comes from and take responsibility for making their own healthy food choices.
