Enjoying the Outdoors

Your kids can benefit from spending time outdoors, and your whole family can work on their fitness while you’re at it. Try these active suggestions while enjoying the sunshine.

• Set up a basketball hoop in your backyard, and play these fun, easy games with your kids!

• With the right approach, you can start teaching your children to swim before signing them up for lessons.

Exercising Indoors

When the weather forecast is looking overcast, you can still keep your family fit, even if you have to stay indoors. Stuck in the house doesn’t need to mean stuck on the couch.

• If your current apartment lacks fitness facilities, try some of these creative indoor workouts. You don’t need a lot to work up a sweat.

• Try some easy yoga poses at home if you want to relax and unwind as a family. It’s an excellent way to close out a day.

• On rainy days, set up an indoor obstacle course for your kids to navigate. Be sure to store anything fragile first!

Getting plenty of exercise can be tricky nowadays. Even if your family has been getting a lot of screen time recently, it’s never too late to make a change. With these tips, you can introduce your spouse and your children to active hobbies that you can all enjoy together. Have fun becoming more active together!
