Family Exercise

If your daily / weekly workout routine has you bored, try working out with family and friends instead. Not only can you hit the gym together, but try some other alternatives as well.

Go for a walk or bike ride in the neighborhood in the afternoons or plan a hike for the weekend.

Chase the kids around the yard during a game of tag, or take them to the local aquatic center.

Everyone in the family will benefit from getting some exercise. Make it a family activity.

I recently started taking walks with my 3-year-old around the neighborhood. I thought it wouldn’t be much of a workout, since she tends to stop a lot to talk and look at things, but it turned out otherwise…

I ended up with a pretty good interval walking session of slowly walking and stopping with her and then chasing after her because she started running toward a dog.
My weight training started about 3/4th of the way home, when she decided she couldn’t possibly walk any further. 35 pounds makes for a lot of added resistance and does wonders for your arms and shoulders.
