Phase 2 day 19- Everything to do kids and workouts!

Hello Everyone

 

Since I have 2 children, Oliver 4 and Zoey 1, I have had to be creative with occasionally working out with them.  Once In a while when I am lifting weights in my basement Ill have to bring them, however this episode is more for workouts I have counted with my children outside.

 

The main ways to exercise with your kids are: 

1. Walking

2. Biking 

3. Hiking

4. Sports

 

Walk with them to the store, to the park, to school and so forth.  Biking is great if you have older kids or even young kids.  Get yourself a couple bike extensions, and bike around with your kids.  There is nothing like biking with 50-75 extra pounds being pulled behind, you will sweat really quick!

 

Hiking is great as your kids will love the views, fresh air and come back super tired.  You may have to carry their part of the way, but then you are also adding a Rucksack workout!

 

Sports are great, just don't make it all about passing, have them earn those goals, running hard with them and get your heart rate up.  Soccer and baseball are great even for the little ones. 

 

Make sure you bring lots of snacks and do not try to go out for too long.  The goal is to go nuts for 45 minutes with them.  If you go to the park and it takes you 2 hours then great, but that still just counts as one workout!

 

When you are in a pinch or have the kiddos all day, use some of these workout ideas to get one in while having fun with the whole family!
