Spring is Coming: Get Out and Play


It's warming up out there. You know what that means. It's time to play... with your family that is! Planning outdoor family activities will not only get you and your kids moving, help you burn calories, but will create a stronger family bond. Throwing a football, hiking, playing hide and seek, or simply playing tag are great ways to get the heart pumping and create lasting family memories. Being active as a family has no rules and no limits. There are not guidelines. Be creative. Walk to the park together after dinner. Ride bikes when you usually drive. Roll down hills (yes, you too). Make relay races in the back yard. Create your own soccer goal and play soccer together. The options are endless. However, if your having a hard time thinking of activities your family can enjoy together, don't give up! Need more ideas? Here are a couple of websites with great family activity ideas. Kaboose. Family Activities Ideas. If these ideas don't seem to fit your family or your surroundings, ask your friends, search the web, or simply observe what families around you are doing that look fun. Make family activity a priority in your life. The benefits not only will improve your health but will increase your family togetherness.
