According to She Knows Health and Fitness

Make exercise fun:  Compromise. Ask him what kind of chore or workout he would enjoy, and be willing to step outside your own exercise comfort zone if necessary. Maybe he'd enjoy a spin class, inline skating or swimming a few laps.  Sitting around with the remote doesn't count.

Communicate--Reassure that your not trying to change them, or be bossy, just need a little help.

Find out what your kids love to the most--bike riding, swimming, hiking, jump on a boogie board and ride some waves.  Try to identify the most liked activity and do it once a week.  It not only helps you to bond with your kids, but also keep them from starring at a TV screen all day.
