So many fun childhood games and activities involve exercise. We play tag in the backyard, bike around the nieghborhood and have silly dance competitions. In the summer, we love swimming, playing in the sprinklers and having water balloon fights or tossing wet sponges at each other!
Our family loves doing jumping jacks and push ups. When my 2 year old gets tired she hops on my back and enjoys the push up ride. Nothing motivates you like a2 year old telling you to keep going!!
My kids love to ride bikes especially my 5 yr old boy. So we race. I jog while he rides. Needles to say he always wins.
I like to take my 3-year-old nephew to the park and go on EVERYTHING with him & try to keep up!
Just recently we played hide and go seek outside in the fenced back yard when it was dark out. Everyone got flashlights. Of course this is only for a little older kids and we laid some ground rules (no leaving the fenced yard etc) but it was so much fun and we worked up a little sweat too!
I have 3 kids 10,8,and 2 I sit down every night watch extreme weight loss over and over and they all sit watch it . The next day if it’s a weekend I say ok let’s do extreme weight loss and all 3 gets excited I tell them ok count for me and they count the smallest repeats everything happily wen it’s for sit ups when i get on that treadmill I say ok let’s count all and they count when I’m doing aerobics they do it with me I just b excited and they get excited .I believe if ur kids c u in a positive way about something they do it too. Now I dnt have to say let’s exercise they tell me momie let’s exercise . Even if I dnt get the sneakers I want to say thank you Chris and Heidi for inspiring me because of u I’m half way to where I wanna b .
Hi Heidi! Our favorite game is Leap Frog: Lifts, Lunges or Squats,(you can use any exercise that the kids want)
We have 3 kids and we play the standard game of Leap frog, the leaper jumps over each “frog” at the end of the line, the last frog gets to tell the leaper what exercise they have to do. If they don’t finish it, they are eliminated, if they finish they become the next frog. Then the back frog goes and so on and so on. The one who stays in the longest wins!
We love to ride bikes and my 21 month old loves to run and throw the ball!
Good ol fashion tag! They don’t grasp they are exercising and it seriously is fun. Throw in some nerf guns for a battle fight and we all leave the grass happier!
Hiking in the bluffs and riding bikes at the park!!
