The Secret to Rainy Day Fitness!
On a perfect sunny day, it’s easy to get motivated for a brisk walk in the park or even a challenging jog around the neighbourhood. But now that summer showers are turning to autumn rain, the outdoors is a far less enticing place. It’s much harder to find the will to work out yourself, and almost impossible to motivate the kids. Here are a few ideas and guidelines to help fill those rainy hours and improve your family's fitness.
1) Turn the music on. Great, upbeat music creates an instant boost of enthusiasm and can get any sulky child to tap their toes. Put on something filled with beat and rhythm, and get everyone dancing along. Just to dance through a couple of songs should be enough to get the blood pumping and the endorphines flowing. When you've started, you may not want to stop - so, if you're of that disposition, think about inventing a dance routine with the kids! If it's rainy all the time, you could get pretty good!
2) Another music-based tip: challenge the kids to dance everywhere they go - and during everything they do - for a few hours! If there's a reward waiting for them at the end of it, chances are they'll love the challenge. Simply dancing around makes your heart beat significantly faster than sitting down, or even walking: it improves circulation, co-ordination, and raises the fitness level considerably (if undertaken regularly).
3) Exercise videos. An obvious one - but true!
4) Creative indoor games! Invent some, or play some old favourites like 'keep-away': blow up some balloons bat them into the air. Try not to let any of them touch the floor again! Or use paper fans to play a version of table tennis: Use your fan to create gusts of air to blow your balloon across the table towards an opponent—get it past them to score a point. (Remember, the scraps from popped balloons are a choking hazard, so take precautions if you have small children.)
5) Other games. Stock your toy shelf with games that encourage kids to move, from classics like Twister to new hits like the Nintendo Wii, Wild Planet Hyper Dash, or Cranium's Hullabaloo. We hope that these ideas are enough to get you thinking of new ways to enjoy those rainy days, and new ways to enjoy keeping your family fit. Remember - it doesn't have to be a sport to be exercise, and the less it seems like a chore, the better.
