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
