Exercise is extremely important as a parent. Some people may say the reason to stay in shape is so you can live to see your grand kids or have more energy to play with your kids, but they're wrong. The reason parents need to exercise is so they can maintain their physical superiority over their children. Children continually grow and get stronger and parents need to make sure they stay one step ahead of them.
In the animal kingdom older weaker adults are killed off by the younger stronger animals. Same with a family. If the parents become weaker than the kids the children will soon rule the house.
Being stronger then your children will come in handy in situation like when you have to take your kid to timeout. Most parents have to give up on timeout when there kids are still young, but if you maintain your physical stature you can keep sending your kids to timeout well into their teens.
Being larger than your kids also has the added bonus of intimidation. This can come in handy when using threats. Intimidation will give more validity to your threats. Please refer to Tip #10 for more information on effective threats.
Bonus tip: If you feed your kids less food it will slow their growth, which means you won't have to exercise as hard to maintain your lead.

the bonus tip made me laugh out loud. clearly you are a role model to all parents, both with parenting as well and staying in peak physical condition. thank you for sharing!
Once the child does become larger than the parent, the parent should have planned for that by developing fear in the child. If the parent has properly prepared that fear enough, one look and a snap of the fingers will take over after size can't be used.
The bonus tip is also a good money saving tip. Eat less - grow less - spend less on food and clothing. This is a win win situation.
