Have you ever thought about ways of improving your fitness level, while at the same time improving your general health?
Do you feel you can’t afford all the money it costs to go to the gym, but you really want to lose weight?
Got kids at home and it always is a problem to get them minded while you attended a gym?
OK.. it’s time for a reality check!
How about doing a routine with your children that goes something like this:
DANCING
Put on some music and dance for about ½ an hour. Make it fun by dressing up as a rock star. Learn new dance moves, or simply move energetically with the music.
BIKE RIDING
All go out riding, either around the streets, or around the local bike track. You can get a really good workout on your bikes, and improve your children’s skills at the same time.
ATHLETICS
Get hold of a giant bubble blower, and some cheap detergent. Take turns in blowing the bubbles and running to catch them. Lots of fun, together with lots of exercise.
VIDEO/DVD WORKOUT
Put on a video or dvd on yoga, light weights, aerobics… and the like. Allow your kids to choose a different one each week. Keep it light hearted and fun by seeing who can best follow the moves.
WATER ATHLETICS
Rather than get involved in expensive lessons, just get on the shallow end of a local heated swimming pool and get all the exercise you need. Dive for coins. Swim laps. Throw an inflatable ball. Not only will you all be thoroughly exercised, you will find the swimming ability of your children improve out of sight.
There are many different things that can be done so you can keep a good variety in your workouts, and no-one every has to think they are “exercising”… they are just having fun!
