Celebrity dad recommends trampoline exercise
12/04/2011 Reality TV star Jeff Brazier, who fathered two children with the late Big Brother legend Jade Goody, has recommended garden trampolines as a fun way to get the kids exercising outdoors this spring.
Writing for his Daily Mirror blog, the celebrity dad offered one reader tips on how to encourage a healthier lifestyle for her daughter, with outdoor play activities among his ideas.
Brazier suggested rewarding the little ones with sweet dried fruits, such as apricots, raisins or banana chips, rather than indulge their appetite for chocolate and confectionery.
He also listed a number of outdoor play ideas to help get the children exercising outdoors more often.
"It's about exercise disguised as fun. Get her on her bike, skipping rope, assault courses, trampolines, tree climbing, dog walking, hopscotch whatever you can think of," Brazier added.
A recent online survey conducted by shopping search engine Twenga revealed that parents were increasingly investing in outdoor play activities, such as trampolines, to help their kids benefit from exercising in the garden.
