Get Fit as a Family

FamilyFitnessimage

If you’ve noticed that the kids have become TV watching zombies or your spouse is permanently connected to a smartphone, it’s time to get fit as a family! There’s never been a better time to start sharing the benefits of exercising with your loved ones.

Benefits of Family Exercise

The calorie-burning, cardiovascular improvements, and the increased strength are well known physical benefits, but exercise can also improve your psychological health. The whole family will benefit when you:

  • reduce stress
  • increase personal happiness
  • channel anger
  • gain confidence
  • improve memory

Build Family Bonds

What better way to connect with one another than to exercise as a family? Spending more time around your loved ones will help you strengthen your bonds. Sharing a common fitness goal can help you keep each other motivated too.

Try Something New

A family can do practically any workout together. Try something new every week. Take turns letting each family member choose a new activity. You might even start a new family tradition such as an annual 5K run, rugby game or hike. Here are some simple go-to ideas for family outings:

  • Bring furry family members. Take the pets for a walk.
  • Make it a race! Walk, hike or bike your way to a fitter family.
  • Dig in! Work together in the garden to burn calories while you beautify your home.

No matter what you choose, make sure to get out with your loved ones each week to get fit and spend some quality time together!
