Fun Fitness Activities to do with the kids

---

Stay Active Together!

As a mum of 4, I know how hard it can be to find time for yourself—especially when it comes to squeezing in a workout! But here’s the good news: you can get fit with your kids, and it can be fun for everyone! Family time doesn’t always have to be sitting in front of the TV. Why not mix it up with some active, enjoyable exercises that get everyone moving?

Here are some simple fitness activities you can do with your kids, right at home or in the backyard.

1. Obstacle Course Fun

Turn your living room or garden into a mini obstacle course! Use cushions, chairs, or toys to create different stations. For example:

– Crawl under a table

– Jump over cushions

– Balance on a line of tape

Get the kids involved in setting up the course. They’ll love being part of the action, and it’s a great way to burn off energy! Plus, you’ll get a mini workout without even realising it.

Tip: Make it a timed race and challenge everyone to beat their own score.

2. Dance Party Workout

Crank up your favourite tunes and have a dance party! Dancing is a great way to get your heart rate up while having fun with your little ones. Try taking turns letting each child pick a song, and don’t worry about looking silly—this is all about moving your body and having a blast.

3. Family Yoga

Yoga is a fantastic way to stretch, strengthen, and relax – and your kids will love trying to copy the poses. You can turn it into a game: who can hold the tree pose the longest, or who can do the best downward dog?

Yoga also teaches balance and focus, which is great for kids, and it helps you relax and feel centred. I’ve got easy-to-follow family yoga routines available in my app that you can do anytime, anywhere. It’s a fun way to wind down together after a busy day.

4. Nature Walks & Scavenger Hunts

Get outside and take a family nature walk. To make it more engaging, turn it into a scavenger hunt! Make a list of things to find, like a red leaf, a pine cone, or a bird. This keeps the kids focused while you all enjoy the fresh air and get those steps in.

Walking is a low-impact, easy way to stay active, and it’s even better when you’re exploring the outdoors together.

5. Workout Buddy Challenge

Kids love a little friendly competition! Create a mini workout challenge where you and your kids do exercises like jumping jacks, squats, or push-ups together. Try to see who can do the most in 30 seconds, or pair up to motivate each other.

This not only gets everyone moving but teaches kids the importance of staying active. And trust me, they’ll love showing off their skills!
