I LOVE this time of year! Days are getting longer, the sun is warmer & Minnesotans are out everywhere with smiles on their face. In my home all this fresh air makes for tired kids during these last few weeks of school!
I wanted to share a few activities my family enjoys thru the summer. Maybe you can schedule in a few new ones for you and your family! I feel it s important to find the time to get your workouts in for some alone time yet make time to lead by example for your kids!
My kids and I always hit up the Paul Bunyan trail for a long bike ride.
We like to pack water and trail mix! At times we are just being silly, others biking fast, then there are times my boys find a hill to mess around on that is off path!
Kayaking is a BIG activity for us, it is great for just about any age.
We also have a paddle boat. I love seeing the kids paddle their little legs around the lake. They are having fun and not even noticing that they are being active!
My daughter and my favorite activity is paddle boarding! This is a great upper body and core workout.
Depending on your Child's Age your activities will vary.
Here are a few more ideas:
Toddler: Running thru sprinkler
Playing at the park
Swimming
School Age: Biking/Hiking
Tubing/Knee Boarding
Walking to the Library
Playing just about any sport!
Neighborhood kickball
Teens: Wake boarding
Skateboarding
Mountain Biking
Inviting them on your workout
Enjoy your summer with your family. The best part about being active together is the memories you all will create. The activity for our minds and body is just a bonus.
