Fit Families
11 year ago
I gave a presentation today called ‘Creating Fit Families’ to help inspire and support parents as they do the same for their own families. Someone asked me what are some exercises/fitness activities you can do if you don’t have a lot of money or you can’t really leave your house. Well — many of the ideas below are great things you can do WITH your kids at home.
Push-ups
Burpees
Jump rope (if the weather is bad, you can do this in your garage!)
Balance Disc
Squats
Lunges
Planks
Some equipment to have on hand:
Jump rope (weighted or standard)
medium-sized rubber ball: four square, kickball, dodgeball
tennis ball: tennis, catch (people or with a dog), batting practice
softball: softball, catch
Frisbee™: various games including Ultimate Frisbee™; catch
bat
football: various forms of football; catch
body ball: a wide variety of exercises
small trampoline: a wide variety of exercises
bicycle
basketball hoop (outdoor or indoor)
Spree Disc for balance
Repurpose/recycle everyday household items to turn them into free kids’ fitness equipment
Thanks, Tim Gunn

This is a quote from Tim Gunn, of Project Runway Fame — And it rings true in my experience and I find that i need reminding of this from time to time — so thanks Tim!
Take the high road. You will never regret it. No matter how much anger and strife you feel you’re facing, no matter how badly you want to lash out, don’t do it. You’ll never regret taking the high road. There isn’t one single time that I’ve lashed out that I haven’t deeply regretted it.
