how old are the kids? If they are toddlers you could get them to chase you around, dont run oyur fastest. You could have races an let them win, the races shouldnt be to long. Or you could play with a ball. I am sure the toddler gets enough exersize anyways.
If it is a teen, help them find a sport they like, and then sign them up for the team. Or play a game of basketball with them, or soccer, or take them on a run/ bike ride.
Exercise is a lot of fun!!!

You have to make it fun for them. If they like any kind of sports then do that with them...if they like to dance then put on some music and dance around. Take them for walks or hikes to see neat things so it won't seem like just exercise.
Bicycle, rollerblade, trikke, walk, jog, dance, play ball, hoola hoop, etc. Whatever will get them moving and keep their attention at least for a little while.

Make em work for their video games. Just like choires.
video games improve hand eye coordination and problem solving skills. Dont listen to the chick above me, video games can help in a lot of ways. Just dont let em sit there and be "gamers"

First of all, dont buy the Video games. Limit the time they watch TV. Play outside with them, sign them up for a sport (little league, peewee football, soccer, dance, gymnastics, etc).

I would take them to a park with a jungle gym with monkey bars and ladders and swings. If you join in you'll get a workout too!
