I came across this website that has great ideas for "Family Fitness Fun". The site includes 99 ideas on getting active yourself and with your family. Check it out here! They really have great suggestions that anyone can do. Some of my favorite ideas were:
  • Use physical activity rather than food as a reward (e.g. family goes in-line skating).
  • Take the family grocery shopping so everyone can learn to read the nutrition labels (find the cereal that offers the most fiber per serving; find the tastiest non-fat cheese).
  • Play a "hot potato" game of Frisbee.
  • Create your own Olympic events at a family reunion or neighborhood block party.
  • Adopt a highway, park, or beach, and keep it clean.
