Spring has arrived! It's the ideal season to incorporate a more active lifestyle into your family’s daily routine.

Here are some affordable and simple ways to get both you and your children moving:

• Take post-dinner family walks
• Go hiking at a local park
• Play friendly games of basketball
• Have a family steps challenge
• Enjoy bike rides
• Try out family-friendly yoga sessions in your backyard
• Visit a local pickleball court
• Join a community sports event like a fun run or charity walk
• Host a family dance party
• Create an obstacle course in your backyard

To stay motivated, consider setting a shared goal like training for a local 5K run or a family fun run. Regardless of the activity, the main aim is to participate in physical activities together.

By emphasizing the importance of regular exercise to your children and actively joining in as a parent, you not only set a positive example but also strengthen your bond with them.

These efforts will benefit both your well-being and theirs in the long run.
