Family that works out together stays together ;)

I wanted to focus on the working out as a family. I listed a few fun examples of ways to keep in shape as a family. I will admit I do not work out as much as I should but I will goof around with my kids. The workout's I found embrace that fun yet healthy way to keep your entire family in shape. Please scroll below and see what workout's work best for you and your family.



The Playground Circuit Workout

This website (http://www.tone-and-tighten.com/2013/08/the-playground-circuit-workout.html) was awesome! We can workout together at the playground then after the fun workout play in the park. Genius!

Family Workout Routine:

Family Workout Routine No. 1: Circuit Station

Stuck at home or trapped inside? Create a boot-camp style workout for the whole family: Set up five or six stations of body-weight exercises, such as jumping jacks, push-ups, lunges and squats. Assign each member of the family to a different station and rotate every 15 to 30 seconds.

For an extra push, run a lap around the yard (or house) after each circuit. Cycle through the stations five times. Don’t forget to keep a box of tissues to wipe away the sweat and a bottle of water on hand.

Family Workout Routine No. 2: At the Track

Take advantage of the track at your local middle or high school. Bring a soccer ball for your kids to play with in the center of the track as you walk or run. To ramp up the intensity, do intervals: Alternate between sprinting and walking laps. Are your kids too young to play on their own? Push them in a jogging stroller.

Family Workout Routine No. 3: Dance Party
Get your heart pumping with some fast-paced tunes! Put on your favorite workout music and start dancing with your kids. You’ll burn up to 330 calories an hour, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Not sure how to get your groove going? Try a dance workout DVD or an interactive video game.

Family Workout Routine No. 4: At the Playground

Don’t stay on the sidelines -- join in on the fun! Race your kids up and down the steps and slide, or bring a jump rope and let your kids count while you skip. Make sure to bring a pack of to-go tissues to clean off dirt and wipe up the sweat.
