Enjoy An Active Family Life
Aug 11, 2014

When you have a family, it can be incredibly difficult to maintain an active lifestyle. Something always seems to crop up and gets in the way of you and a Metafit class! Increasing your levels of activity will give you more, much-needed energy, which is why it is so frustrating to miss a planned gym session.

For many mums, exercise is a release. Going to the gym or for a swim enables you to recharge your batteries through effective exercise. Scheduling time to care for your own wellbeing is an essential aspect of being a confident and happy mum. To ensure you remain fit even when a trip to the gym is not possible, try getting active as a family. With childhood obesity on the rise, enjoying exercise together could help you achieve your fitness goals whilst supporting your family’s needs too. Here are some great ideas to help you get started

Walking
Walking is a great form of exercise that helps you increase your stamina and overall fitness levels. It also lets you engage with those around you, which is ideal for quality family time. If you’ve young children, there are some brilliant child carriers on the market. For older children, choose a route they will enjoy as much as you. You can find some fantastic walks for all ages and abilities on the National Trust website.

Cycling
There are safe cycling routes all over Great Britain that are perfect for family fun. Many are off road so you can let your budding Bradley Wiggins cycle at their own pace. Towpaths are also suitable for family cycle rides. Visit www.waterways.org.uk for scenic, waterside routes.

Swimming
Swimming is an excellent way to exercise and helps your children to develop essential life skills. Having fun in the water gets everyone moving. If you go with a group of friends, you could take turns to look after the children and swim a few lengths.

Dance
Dancing is a blast! You’ll burn calories easily whilst having lots of fun. Put on your favourite music and have a boogie in the lounge! You’ll burn just as much from laughing!

There are lots of activities you can enjoy with your family that will help you all to enjoy a healthy lifestyle. I hope this inspires you and your family to get active!
