Take advantage of the warm temps and sunshine this summer with a family-friendly workout for both parents and children.
Get That Body Moving
We’ve all heard about the benefits of moving our body, so why not build it into a family fun summer workout. Exercising your body is great for your physical health. It’s important to keep your body strong. Exercising daily for 20 minutes will not only keep your muscles toned but it will also keep heart, lungs and brain healthy.
Exercise boosts endorphins..those are the feel good chemicals in your brain that are referred to as a “runners high.” Good news..you can get this feeling without running (running isn’t required at SIU)! Exercise also improves your mental health and improves sleep.
Kids Need to Move Too
Let’s also talk about how important moving is for our youth. Kids receive endless benefits from exercise, including a healthy relationship with their body. What better way to teach them the importance of movement than to lead by example. Family walks, bike rides, outdoor games and swimming are perfect ways for the entire family to move and workout together!
Family Fun Summer Obstacle Course Workout
One of my favorite things to do with young kiddos is to set up a fun obstacle course for a great summer workout. All you need is things around your garage and some chalk. Get creative! A few hop-scotch squares, followed by a few cones with a hula hoop or two and then a lap around the house and you’ve got yourself a fun workout. Grab your timer and make it a positive experience. Lead by example..everyone should get involved. The biggest thing we do at SIU is make Fitness FUN! When you can get people, young or old to have a good time moving, then exercise doesn’t seem so bad!
