My kids Kaylen10 and Raymond 5 both take Karate, they love doing burpees and planks! When I participated in The Max fitness program they used to watch me and when we got home we would try and improve our plank time. I recently had to quit the program for financial reasons but I bought your husband’s book Choose to Lose to try and continue weight loss efforts. You and your family inspire so many people, keep up the amazing work!
Play your kids’ favorite song, after a few moments of furious dancing, hit pause and yell “freeze!”. Hold for a few moments then hit play again. 🙂
I think a good way to get your kids moving and excited about exercise is to have a weekly family exercise night; just like family game night. That can include whatever the kids want to do, but to include 2-3 hrs. Start with a hike through the woods with challenges along the way, then a bike ride to the park and have dinner @ the park and ride home the bike. Each week can be different and the kids get to decide or take turns being the leader.
I skate board with my kids (4 & 7) and dog. Loved it as a child and still love it at 46.
My three girls ages 7 and 4 (twins) and my son 17 months and I love to dance around the house. We also love to go for walks at my father in laws 80 acre vegetable farm with our two dogs. They have a sand pit they like to jump off of. I also love to take them to the park.
If I need a work out I bring my kids to the local school. They can play on the playground while I run the track. Also I will push my son (3) in the jogging stroller for a run and let him yell out what direction we should go. If he says left I turn left, if he yells right I turn right, it’s also a good way to switch up my running route 😉
We are big on having dance parties to get us all moving. And if I need to do sit ups my son sits on my feet and I high five him or tickle him on the way up
Random dancing and hiking in various locations is what we all love to do.
We love Zumba
We go on walks and find things that tie into what they learned at school. Or take out all the balls from the garage and a bat or mitt and create our own games in the yard, making each other laugh and giggle the whole time!
Playing leap frog is great exercise for small kids and super fun!
