Deep dives

Emphasizing Enjoyment in Family Activities

Staying active as a family is best approached through enjoyment rather than viewing exercise as a chore. When fitness activities are associated with fun, they are more likely to be embraced by both parents and children. Engaging in imaginative outdoor play, such as pretending to be explorers during a hike or creating games like 'the ground is lava,' encourages kids to be active without realizing they are working out. This not only provides a workout but also strengthens family bonds, creating cherished memories that solidify positive attitudes towards fitness.
