Well I like to wrestle them, but to be fair my nephew totally starts it. Also, it normally ends with me lifting him up, but it’s a great upper body workout at the end of it.
My kids are grown and out of the house, but when they were young I would love to take them to the park and let them play and just be kids. I have great memories of doing that when I was a kid and it seems like today, kids are too busy to be kids!
My favorite thing to do with my kiddos (ages 1,2 &4) is going to the trampoline park and jump with them! We did it just this morning…
My favorite thing to do with my son is go on family runs. He is 7 so he loves to play follow the leader while we run. He will do something crazy and then daddy and I have to copy. We take turns being the leader and before you know it, our training miles are done!!
Best exercise with kids: it’s a tiring one 🙂 take them outside for a walk /short jog. Tell them they get to pick the exercises and how many times to do it (we keep it at about 10-15) everyone has to participate. we help them out with different ideas. Lunges, squats, jumping jacks etc. it’s fun and usually me/dad are the ones saying “let’s take a break” :))
When I take my kids to the park we turn it into not only a fun adventure but a workout. Doing pull ups, push ups, running and so many other things. It’s amazing how many workouts you can do while playing on the playground.
Well we like to call our selves the Garrard mob squad…when out on our random errands I’ll say just dance and we stop what we are doing and dance for 30 seconds. My kiddos are 9,6,3 so fun.
No kids at home but love the shoes- I enjoy walking and hope you still consider me. Thanks
Hey Heidi (btw, my WIFE will wear the shoes, not me haha). My wife and I train together. We always invite our kids (12, 9, and 6) to train with us (we have a garage gym). What we do is to have our kids perform the exercises we are doing, but modified). For example, instead of bench press – pushups; instead of 30″ box jumps – 20″ box jumps; instead of back squats – overhead squats with PVC. Also, we always end with some type of loaded carry or throw. They love it. Last time we did med ball throws. We try to make good memories and lasting habits. Thanks!
I posted on your other blog. Lol my favorite workout is turning the zumba station on Pandora and dancing around with my 4.5 month old while he giggles and smiles at me the entire time! It makes my day 🙂 #makingmemories #workingoutisgoodforthesoul -Anna & Damon Harward – SLC, Ut.
