Ready, Set, Go! In our family, we have a culture of fitness. Whether we are taking a family bike ride, playing beach volleyball, walking our dog, or swimming in the lake, we make it a habit of being active together! This isn’t something that we’ve had to “work on”, it just naturally happens. Why? Because we make it fun!
One way we love to be active in the Summer, is to take part in a local running race! A 10K, 5K, 2 mile, whatever it is, we make it a fun tradition and a part of our Summer! If it’s for a good cause, that’s even better!
Training for it (well I need to train, but my kids don’t), the days leading up to the race and the actual race day are so fun! It bonds us together! Of course we are incredibly competitive and talking “smack” to each other about how we think we’re going to do! We work hard, some of us are awarded with medals, we take pics and there’s always food involved afterwards! Plus we get the benefit of some great cardio! The real benefit for me though? The memories that we create as a family!
I encourage you to get active with your family! Even a 15 min walk with the dog is a great way to encourage conversation and get some movement in!
