Spend Time Outdoors Everyday!

tracybenham — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 19:14:28 +0000

Your kids follow your health and fitness habits. Make it easy for them to think that enjoying the outdoors and being active is something that everyone loves to do. Go outside and play. Take them to a park, a pool or even around the block. Let them pick the activities, sports or games. Then share some of the ones that you played as a kid.

Don’t have any kids – borrow some your siblings or friends that would love a few minutes to themselves (they will thank you for it). It will be fun to remember how much fun it to just run around and laugh for no reason.

So get outside and remember when everyday was filled with non-stop activities and adventures.

Make this weekend a Happy, Healthy and Adventurous one!

Memorable, Media-Free Fitness

Make this summer an active one for you and your family. Here is an easy way to free up some time: Choose one day every week (or at the very least every month) to turn off every TV, video game, cell phone and computer. Gather your family and/or friends and do something — anything — together.

Get out the calendar and pick your “turn it off” electronic entertainment-free day. Plan an activity, event or adventure. If you have kids, let them take turns planning an activity.

Split up the day and let each family member plan something fun for the family to do together. If possible, plan a memorable activity/fitness day trip for a fun and healthy thing to do! You could go to the park, go ice-skating, go bowling, take a hike … the choice is yours.

Everyone talks about how the most important thing you can give is your time, but how many of you never seem to have that time to give?

Make this the year that you try new sports, get outside, are active, get dirty, and the year that you get fit and have more fun.

What memories do you have of being active and adventurous last summer?

If you can’t think of tons of active memories, you owe it to the little kid in you to do something fun this summer and throughout entire year. It will definitely beat spending your evenings in front of the TV and computer.

Can you believe it, summer is almost over?

tracybenham — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 19:11:07 +0000

Make an active, summertime memory this long holiday weekend.

Inside or out, do one thing that will make you laugh and remember this summer.

Go to the park, play mini-putt, get out your bike /skateboard/jump rope, go golfing and walk the course, go to the lake/pond/beach, play baseball/basketball/football, go for a hike, play tennis, go fishing/canoeing/kayaking, go to a pool (act like an Olympian and pretend you are Michel Phelps or Natalie Coughlin), head to a local zoo… Pick something – anything- that you know will make you laugh while you are doing it and make you smile when you are finished.

Water parks, ice and roller rinks and other fun places are having specials and are open for one last blast of summertime fun. When is the last time you went to one of those places? Just the thought alone, should you make you laugh. Act like a kid on summer vacation. (Even if you are the parent – kids love to see their parents having fun.)

Leave the computer, X-Box, Wii and TV off an entire day and take some dorky photos of all the fun. You have all fall and winter to be occupied with games, TV and non-stop media.

Don’t forget to post your pictures of Flickr (http://www.flickr.com), to be able to look at them on a freezing cold or raining day this winter.

Don’t forget us know what you did this weekend.

We love to hear from our readers and share the fun, activities and healthy adventures!
