How Did You Do? I Answers...

MOSTLY A's: You're doing great—keep up the good work! To boost your family's health quotient even more, take a look at any B or C answers you had and work toward improving them (e.g., more veggies, less screen time).

MOSTLY B's: Looks like your family is doing pretty well—but you can definitely do even better! Use the A answers as your guide to what to shoot for, and see if you can add in another exercise session per week, eat out less, or get out and enjoy the great outdoors as a family.

MOSTLY C's: You seem to be struggling in the diet-and-exercise department. Help is here! You might also want to look over the quiz's answers again: The A answers are what you should be aiming for, but take it slowly! Trying to totally overhaul your eating and fitness habits all at once is a recipe for failure; it's just too much for anyone to handle. Make one small change at a time—say, eating at home one more time a week instead of going out or finding a local park or playground, even if it's a few miles away. You'll get there!
