Hi Mary,

continue whatever it is the two of you like to do
(your walks, for instance), but make it a *little*
harder for him each day."

I've done exactly this, hiking around the neighborhood with my kids strapped
to me in carriers -both kids, that is. Each day I would go farther. My legs
and hips gained a lot of strength. Also, yoga is an excellent, gentle,
effective, and fun way for a kid (or anyone) to gain strength. If you want
to try it, check out http://www.yogakids.com to find a yoga techer near you.

Best,
Stacie
