I have a very active three year old boy and a new little puppy so I need to get everyone moving to keep mommy sane! Two things I do almost are having races and stretching. I enjoy running so it’s fun to get my son involved, I don’t always let him win either! We enjoy stretching to get our blood flowing but most days it ends up in tickle fights and wrestling. This gets daddy moving too 🙂
When my kids were little – we use to set up mini-circuits in our back yards- run to a tree- do 10 jumping jacks- run to the swingset try to do the monkey bars- run back to the tree – you get the idea….I also had a buggy from LL Bean that attached to the back of my bike- they loved to do go on trips to the local playground where they would get out and burn off some energy. Now my “baby” is 14 and she takes spin classes with me 🙂
As a divorced mommy of two beautiful boys, I have to crunch any type of physical activity with the boys, but our favorites are soccer & push ups. Even thou my five year old looks extremely comical trying these two, I can see how much fun is added to their regular daily routine. I try to exercise in front of them as much as possible & add some play time with activities that will include excercise & we all win, because I get to burn some calories & they get to waste some of their restless energy 🙂
I love to go to the park for running. Usually my husband, my 3 year old kid and me go o sunset, we enjoy that time of the day. We all three initially start running, but we take the stroller with us in case our kid gets tired, and when we are done, we play with him in a little playgroung there. I love it!!!
My kids love yoga and also do some circuit training. I have 5 kids from 1.5 to 11yrs old. We spread out in the basement and get to it. Lots of laughs and farts from them. haha. We also have superman or wall sit competitions.
I love hiking with my kids! There’s nothing better than just being outdoors! So healthy AND fun!
I have a 9 month old son. We love to do everything and anything. My son loves going in the bike trailer, in the jogging stroller, and playing at the park. We try to be outside as much as we can when its cool outside. Family quailty time is our favorite we want to promote a healthy lifestyle for him.
This is what my life with me, me hubz and me kidz will look like one day when I am so lucky to teach them the value of exersize.
R ? Rocking rollerblades ? Go out on your blades as a family for a roll instead of a stroll.
E ? Energising equestrian ? Horses!! Whether they are real or the rocking kind 😉
E ? Eager Egg racing ? You don?t have to boil them before you let the kids have fun!
B ? Bouncing and ball ?in ? Tennis, Football? Anything with a ball will hold the kids attention.
O ? Olympic Orienteering ? Hit the hills for a hike with your compass in hand. ?Kids, Lead the way!?
K ? Kooky Kite flying ? Chasing Kites on a windy, sunny day is pure laughter all the way.
Thanks,
Eloise
wow!!!! so many great ideas people have posted i thought we had great workouts at our home but no we have so may other fun things to do. I am a mommy of 5 a 2 year old a 3 year old a 5 year old and two 7 year olds. on a usual night we take them out side as the sun sets for free play bike riding foot ball or soccer, or we set up conditioning drills with he ladder and add cones for an obstetrical course the boys are more involved but the girls are not so into it. after that we take a family walk. on the days we have off from work we will go to the mountain and hike we love the out doors problem is we are in Arizona so when the heat hits we dread the outdoors and then i am stuck so the many posts gave me fun ideas of things we can do indoors with the kids 🙂
I like going on nature walks with my kids.
