On a mission to get everyone out and about, having fun and discovering new places, Little Tikes’ ‘Little Trikers’ campaign has teamed up with gold medal Olympian Greg Rutherford and his family to encourage families to make the most of the sunshine and go for a walk, release some happy hormones endorphins and feel fit, strong and inspired at the same time.Greg, along with his partner Susie, is all set for a summer of fun with their son Milo in his 4-in-1 Trike Sports Edition, as he turns nine months old this month.Greg’s Top 5 Tips for making the most of the great outdoors this summer
- Go as a family – You can walk and talk at the same time and enjoy exercising and spending time together. This is a great idea for meeting up with other family members as well as friends.
- Watch your steps – It’s recommended you walk 10,000 steps every day. Use an app or a pedometer to measure how many steps you do. Going out with your child in a Trike, you will probably find you are surprised by just how many steps you’ve taken!
- Look up – It may sound obvious but it’s important to take stock of your surroundings, feel inspired the nature all around you.
- Walk tall – Walking is a great gentle exercise and if you walk tall and pull your tummy you can help improve your posture too.
- Change it up – Don’t do the same route all the time, you will lose motivation and give up. Go to the park, walk around the block or in town. Check out walks from other parents on the Little Tikes’ interactive map and on Twitter and Instagram with #toptriketrails.
