Have you thought about how great it would be to include your family in your pursuit to exercise more regularly? Family exercise will improve the health of your loved ones, make exercise more fun, and at the same time develop stronger connections between all of you. With a little creativity, you can find a way to make it work for everyone.
FITNESS TIP
Walk, jog, or ride your bike to your destinations, including the supermarket, dry cleaners, library, or video store. This simple change has the ability to shorten your to-do list, save you money, improve your health, bring your family closer together, and conserve resources–all at the same time!
If you only have a few things to pick up or drop off, take backpacks and use non-polluting “people power” to get there. You’ll burn calories, get a workout while running errands, and reduce fuel expenses and wear and tear on your car. Plus, you’ll exemplify the idea of living an active lifestyle to your kids, who will also have a lot more fun than if they were sitting in the van as you drive around town.
