I timk my favorite exercise with my children was to learn the love of walking. One of the favorites was to walk to a bridge with a creek or stream and play poo sticks… The kids would throw a sick on one side and run to other side to see who won ( from Winnie the Poo). Then whe older… Find a new trail then find a nice rock or tree to climb and eat peanut butter on crackers… Or hike to a lake to skip stones… Just make walking something that just comes natural!
My favorite exercise I do with my kids, is “Dance Party!!” But… I make it more challenging for myself and hold my 2.5yr old while cutting a rug! I incorporate squats, shoulder presses (lifting her in the air), jumps, spins!! My 6yr old keeps my cardio level up while I have to immitate her moves. It’s so much gun for all of us, and after about 4 or 5 songs we are all a sweat mess!!
Well I don’t have my own kids, but I do have a kitten who acts like a kid. My fav way to get some good cardio with him is to play a game of “fetch” but we both run for the ball, then I throw it again and we both run again to go get it, and so on…. good exercise especially if you do a squat to pickup the ball!
I strap the bug in the Ergo along with 5 lb ankle weights. After putting a resistance band around my calves, I squat sideways the length of the room and back. Then, I walk the same distance in backward lunges and forward lunges. Baby boy just chills the whole time 🙂
All time favorite exercise with the kiddos is climbing rope!!!!! We have 6 kiddos and all of them love it, our little monkey (6 yrs old) can almost beat us up it!!!!!! On the floor I also like to do superhero rides , while lying on my back and put the kids on my feet and dip them up and down, awesome leg workout!!!!!!
Plate twists holding a baby instead of a plate. Fun for the babe and gets those abs burning!
I just love doing sit-ups with my granddaughter lying on my stomach! I saw her last at 8 months (Mommy & Daddy are in the Coast Guard and live in TX…I am in TN). We get to see her again for her 1 yr birthday and I can’t wait to hear that sit-up giggle again.
Hula-hooping and seeing who can keep the hula hoop going the longest. Also playing limbo…which is great because the kids will most likely beat mommy. Good self-esteem builder.
Since I am a first grade teacher I use Havefunteaching.com. they have a tab under songs for fitness. we will do this almost everyday to get our wiggles out in to get the blood flowing:) check it out your kids would love it!
My kids are older now but we started skiing as a family when they were 3 and 5! It’s tons of fun and gets us outside during the winter. 12 years later we still ski together 🙂
