Get Active

Ways to stay active with your kids and keep them (and you) from getting “soft”.  This is just as much for me as for you!

• Play leap frog throughout the house
• Walk in the rain and stomp in puddles
• Wrestle
• Use your kids as weights and do exercises (I’ve been doing these since my 18 year old niece was about 3)
• Take a hike
• Ride your bikes to the library (or anyplace)
• Make a leaf pile and jump in with them
• Make a snowman
• Go sledding
• Crunch through the fall leaves (love that noise)
• Play tag
• Dance to some fun music (they don’t care about how silly your moves are!)
• Get some instruments and march around the house in a parade
• Make an obstacle course
• Let the kids jump off furniture and into your arms (great for the pecs)
• Have a pillow fight
