Running a household is a full-time job, and sometimes things can slip through the cracks. One thing that you can't let slip through is exercise. It is vital to keep your family on the move and healthy all year long. Try out these fantastic methods to keep your family and kids active.
Outdoor Days
Make an effort to schedule outdoor days with your family! Whether it is every weekend or once a month, put it in your calendar to get outside. Visit local parks, go hiking, hit up a waterpark, swim at the beach, play putt-putt golf, or challenge your kids to a sports game. You will all get exercise, fresh air, and a family bond that will last forever.
Family Walks
Spend quality time together each day by adding a family walk into your daily routine. Whether it is after dinner on school nights or before breakfast on the weekends, you and your family can hit the streets. Take a 30-minute stroll around the neighborhood; this will give you time to catch up with your family without any distractions while getting some exercise.
Sports
Enrolling your kids in a sport that they love will have them excited and ready to exercise every day. Let your kids try out a few different sports at a local gym class and see which one they like best. Take it to the next level by keeping them involved in sports year-round. Let them choose a sport for each season, so they always stay busy! According to Gift Climber: Football, basketball, and soccer are currently the most popular youth sports. Kids aren't the only ones who can enjoy playing sports, try planning a weekly tennis or pickle-ball match with the whole family.
Gym Classes
Gym classes offer year-round activities for kids and adults to stay healthy and active. Whether it is once a week or five times a week, your family can hit the gym together. Send the kids off to youth fitness classes where they can play soccer, basketball, dodgeball, and other fun sports. While they are burning off energy, you can take your own gym class or work-out in the gym solo. Some gyms even offer joint parent/kid classes where you can work out or even go rock climbing together!
Parents Night Out
Let's be honest; keeping your family and kids entertained is an exhausting job! You deserve to have a break! That is why at Club Prairie, we offer Parents Night Out. Once a month, you can drop your kids, aged 3-12, off with us. While you are out enjoying a date or even taking a nap, we will entertain your kids with games, crafts, activities, our climbing wall, a pizza dinner, and a movie! By the time you pick them up, you will be rejuvenated, and they will be worn out!
