Fitness – It’s A Family AffairWritten by Sue DeFiore
OK, you are eating healthier meals and now you want to get your family to exercise together. First, sit down and talk about different things you all like to do. Give everyone a turn to come up with a week’s worth of activities. Numerous studies have shown that if you exercise for 30 consecutive days it becomes a habit. So once you all get past first month it will become routine and part of your lifestyle. Just remember to keep it fun and give everyone a chance to participate in coming up with different things to do. Everyone wants to give input, no one likes to be told over and over what to do!One of my favorites is dancing. Everyone gets to pick their favorite music and you all get to dance to it. It is also fun for younger generation to watch older one dance. Another favorite of mine is swimming. If you have a YMCA, community center, or if your school is lucky enough to have a pool see if you can get some swim time in. You can also get creative here also with different types of swimming, races, or water ballet. Another option if you have pool to yourself is pool volleyball! One great game whole family can play is Twister, plus it has added advantage of stretching all those muscles. Be sure you play enough games to get those muscles warmed up (4-8 games). Since weather is one of main reasons why many around country don’t get outside to walk, try going to Mall. Walk at a nice brisk pace for at least 20-30 minutes or less if you feel you are getting short of breath. Then since you are there reward yourself with some window shopping. If mall isn’t your thing, pick another indoor facility where you can do some brisk walking.
