Topic: Involving kids in an exercise routine-
tinap1, Apr 20 2009 9:21 am33 words

What are some good ways to involve kids in your exercise routine? I'm looking for some fun ways to involve the kids so that I can get my exercise in on the weekends.

When my kids were little we used to ride bikes together, or they would ride a bike while I ran. I also went to a gym that had a kids' class on Saturday morning at the same time as an adult aerobics class, so we could all participate. Some of my neighbors all do karate together in a family class.

I also used to exercise to DVDs at home, and the kids would do it along with me. Or they would laugh at me; either way, we all had fun!

When my children were young we enjoyed playing badmitton as soon as it was warm enough to be outside.

We also enjoyed going to the swimming at various places close to our home.
Most of them were lakes and I simply bought lifejackets to keep all 4 afloat until they could swim on their own.
The swimming is what my children remember fondly now that they're adults.

I also took my children walking with me. They didn't enjoy that so much but they got to walk anyway.

Those are great memories for you and your kids! I remember going fishing and hiking with my family when we were young, swimming at the local pond, and ice skating on that same pond in the winter.

I wonder how many memories we build with our kids when we aren't active? I just don't think that sitting in front of the TV will have the same type of lasting memories - and it certainly doesn't do anything good for our health :)
