Find Your Balance with Family Fitness Fun

Now that fall is almost here and I’m getting back into the swing of a busy schedule with my three children, I’m striving to find more balance in my life especially when it comes to fitness. Often times as parents, we put our physical needs aside to make sure our kids are getting good meals, dedicated one on one time and shuffled to and from after school activities. This kind of crazy scheduling can put your body’s needs on the back burner.

Fortunately, I’ve been finding my balance by getting myself involved with the family through play time and helping my kids practice for their fall sports. My son is right in the middle of football season and to give him an extra edge on the field, I spend a lot of time tossing the football with him at home. It’s a great time for us to bond and burn calories all at the same time.

Recently, we made a trip to Sports Authority to get our daughter’s gear for her fall season of soccer. After fully outfitting her in cleats, shorts, shin guards and socks, we found a hot pink soccer ball for her to practice with at home. This brightly colored ball got her more excited about her first competitive sport and keeps her interest at home while she’s chasing me through the yard trying to steal the ball. Practicing at home with my daughter also happens to be a great way to burn off extra calories in the afternoon.

3 Kids and Us soccor

I’ve quickly learned that it doesn’t cost a lot of money to get into fitness and it can be a lot of fun when you get the whole family involved. Even if you don’t have a son or daughter involved in organized sports, Mary Anderson, Deputy Editor of Fitness Magazine has some fun, easy and affordable tips for family fitness fun. Watch in as she shares ways to find your balance with simple and affordable sports gear from Sports Authority.

Want even more fitness tips? Fitness Magazine and Sports Authority have teamed up to share even more videos on how to find your balance through yoga, running and some great tips for fitness on a budget.

    im tot tally sure it doesnt count as real exercise, but honestly going up and down and up and down my stairs at my home, definitely keeps me fit! For my family, just playing in the backyard play area we have, walking with the stroller, and hanging w/ neighborhood kids. My daughter also does full time gymnastics team.

  48. Donna D says:

    I think the thing I do most that helps me stay fit and grounded, is my daily walk with Jill(my dog). Our walks are long, and fun because I talk to her as we walk and I watch her sniff for whatever she can find to run down.lol We always go to the creek and walk along the edge for a ways.. it’s fun, keeps me in shape and helps put any troubles I may have to rest. I go to the park sometimes & walk but the walks with Jill are a daily thing and one I always enjoy. I also love working in the yard/garden, now im getting ready to put up the Halloween lights!

    I participate in a boot camp fitness class, Zumba class, and now that school has started I have started exercising with my friend after the kids leave in the morning.

    For family activities, we play tennis, go swimming, and hiking.

    My children are adults now but we used to pile them and a bunch of their friends into our station wagon and head for the park. Bringing their friends along made it even more fun for them and we had enough kids to play touch football or one of the many group games like dodge ball or tag. Of course they would never let me be just an observer!

    I go rollerblading and biking both alone and with the kids I babysit for. I’m also always willing to jump in a game of tag or capture the flag, the kids are happy because I am playing and it is promoting exercise. Thanks!

    I like to take an evening power walk with my kids. Not only is it great exercise for the body, but I also get a chance to connect with my kids and that helps balance myself as a parent.
