WITH the hustle of daily life, with work, school and various other commitments, it can feel like there is barely enough time for anything else. However, staying active as a family does not have to be a chore or something you have to squeeze in between obligations. It is about making movement fun and turning fitness into a shared experience. There are plenty of ways families can stay active and healthy.
Here is a look at how you can integrate fitness into your family life and keep things exciting for everyone.
Create fun home workout routine
One of the easiest ways to stay active as a family is by setting up a regular exercise routine right at home. There is no need for fancy equipment or a gym membership, just a little creativity. Start with simple exercises that everyone can enjoy. Think jumping jacks, squats and even races to see who can do the most push-ups.
For younger children, incorporate fun movements such as animal walks or dance breaks to their favourite songs. You could also try online workout videos that are geared towards families in your living room. This way, everyone can be involved and you can take turns leading the activities. You do not need to leave the house to get hearts pumping.
