Working out as a Family
Today being International Day of Families is an occasion to celebrate the importance of togetherness around the world. For a happy family, it is important that they stay healthy together by staying physically active and building healthy habits.
This is a great time to get your family up and moving. Not only will exercise make you all feel great but it is also a great way to bond with your family.
Here are a few tips to get started on working out as a family:
1.Fun Walk:
Rather than rushing to watch your favourite family program after dinner, take a long walk with your family. Wear a pair of comfy shoes and get going. Add energetic movements like jumping, jogging or squatting.
2.Fun Dance:
If you are sick of your boring routines, crank up the music and get on the floor. Try the Shakira moves or some hip-hop, it can be more interesting than jogging on the same old treadmill everyday.
3.Bicycling:
It is an excellent activity to do with your family. It’s fast and fun and helps you to keep the weight off. The kids can have a great time as it gives them the freedom to get around.
4.Family goals chart:
Build healthier family habits by creating a goal chart. Put this chart up on your refrigerator or on another highly visible spot. It is a good way to keep your score and pay attention to your eating and exercise habits.
