Bonding Through Fitness: Creative Ways to Exercise with Kids

Welcome to another beautiful Work Out Wednesday, dear friends! This week, we’re focusing on a topic that’s both fun and fundamental – engaging our kids in exercise. In a world where screens often dominate our children’s attention, finding ways to incorporate physical activity into their daily routine is crucial for their health and well-being.

Think parents don't have time to work out? Think again! 🚀 Balancing kids, work, and household chores might feel like an impossible juggling act, but what if I told you that incorporating fitness into your busy routine is not just achievable, but can actually make you a better parent?

Forget the outdated notion that self-care is selfish. In reality, the more you take care of yourself, the more energy and patience you have for your little ones. 🏋️‍♀️💪 Let's flip the script on the traditional view of parenthood and personal training.

Ever considered turning playtime into workout time? Imagine squats while holding your baby or lunges while pushing a stroller. These activities can double as quality bonding moments with your kids while you squeeze in that much-needed exercise. Not to mention, you’re setting a great example for your children about the importance of health and fitness from an early age. 👶👟

Busy schedules and tired evenings are a given, but what if your fitness plan could adapt to your lifestyle rather than the other way around? With a bit of creativity, the world becomes your gym. No more excuses, just results. And the best part? You don't need a fancy gym membership or expensive equipment. Your home, your park, even your office can become places of transformation.

Have you tried integrating your kids into your workouts? How do you make fitness fun for the whole family? Let’s share tips and inspire each other to stay healthy and happy!

My 4, 6, 9 and 10 yr old is watching AND imitating. If I’m sitting they are sitting. However, if I’m putting in work they are putting in work too.

Short & Sweet Tracks

with caravan in tow

Living in a tourist destination certainly has its perks, and as a family we love exploring and discovering all that Denmark has to offer! It was the driving reason for our move here in the first place. But even though our life feels at times like a holiday, we still like to getaway. And the beauty of Great Southern region is that you don’t have to go far to find new thrills.

Because reality is – we do work and have to factor in those mundane family obligations we all deal with. But escaping that routine, even for a night or two, can be really refreshing and does not have to cost a whole lot. So we have been focusing on frequent "Short & Sweet" options nearby Denmark to make the most of our weekends. Hitch the caravan up and in less than 100km's we can be at a new place with a heap to see and do.

Making a weekend trip to a local destination definitely has its advantages:

Maximise your available weekend time to explore/reset rather than travel

Affordable fuel option (especially when towing)

Feels like you are getting away for not much effort

Discover new things just down the road

You are not far from home if something comes up

If you travel in low-season you contribute to local town economy and your costs are relative

Even if you can't check-in at the caravan park or accommodation until a certain time, there is always a place to park a long vehicle in a small regional town, so you can start exploring as soon as you arrive! Most big tourist attractions allow for this but do your research. Other things to consider to keep it short and sweet:

Decide on a weekend that suits entire family (ie make sure the missus is on board)

Look at the weather forecast and choose your activities before you head off (helps with what to pack)

A couple of days in advance - turn on the fridge, fill up water tanks, check gas bottles

Pack caravan the night before

Prep some food/snacks to take with you – saves money and time on shopping/cooking/cleaning

If everything is done the night before then you can hitch up in the morning and make the most of your first day

We love going on big and small adventures, not every trip needs to be an extreme journey. Our last “Short & Sweet” stay was at Coalmine Beach Holiday Park in Walpole (45 min drive from Denmark) and it was a quality getaway with the family. The Park was one of the best we’ve been to for natural surrounds and camping amenities  - like our own personal fire pit. The list of activities in the area is endless – from Long Point 4wd Track which takes you to scenic beaches, a visit to Fernhook Falls or Giant Tingle Tree Walk and of course the iconic Valley of the Giants.

But our favourite moments were sitting around the fire, cooking up an easy meal and watching our little man fall asleep in his camping chair.

Let us know if you have a trusty local spot you go to for a re-charge!

Cheers,

John

One more post about our visit to @vierumaki. On Saturday I had my own skiing training in the morning. In the afternoon we reserved 4 slots (out of 10 available due to COVID) to Vierumäki’s sports hall, where we spent an hour playing, building obstacle tracks, doing parkour and gymnastics and having a blast! After a small snack we went for a small skiing trip - all four of us! I took a sledge along as I was certain Silvia would need it when her focus would drift from skiing tracks to other things. I am so proud of all of us: we skied the whole round, about 1,8 km! ”It is a short distance for skiing people but a huge step for our family”. Elmo was a real sport and had no complaints. 💪🏻👌🏻 Silvia, well, she held my hand throughout the trip and I pulled her all the way, but I still consider this an accomplishment!👏🏻 Ville was fine but lost a ski pole basket in deep snow (long story). 😁 I did ok too and I am super proud of them all ❤️😘 • #skiing #xcountryskiing #familysport #activefamily #activekids #hiihtämässä #perhehiihtää #äitiannakäsi #ennätysretki #vierumäki #vierumäenurheiluopisto (at Suomen urheiluopisto) https://www.instagram.com/p/CM-ZDXRBF9A/?igshid=4mnspgl8o7t2

👆🏽👆🏽The way your child feels when there are exciting new blacktop games and designs at school. I love being part of these types of projects!!!! I wish I could have helped paint this weekend, bc y’all know that’s my jam. But... still, being part of the brainstorm and planning process with so many wonderful volunteers is priceless. The way Miles feels in this moment is the way I feel in my heart.. . Not saying I’ll be VP of #ptc again at our next school , or even in PRC at all lol 😝 . #mywhy - I joined the #parentteacherclub for two reasons, 1- to show my kids that I could work hard and still be involved and 2- I had a thirst for giving back. The only problem is, I can’t just be apart of something as a bystander, which is why I dove into the head #artdocent role then board advisor And within one year became VIce President of the Board. As a #newlysingle mom w/ #fulltime work it’s still worth it bc of the interactions, as well as what it’s doing for the children!!! It all starts with kids and their education. . #artprogram #artseducation #activekids #activekidsarehappykids #activefamily #playgroundart #blacktopart #schoolspirit #ptaparents #volunteerwork #ptavolunteer #givebackmore #socialdiatancing #schoolreopening #funisproductive #learnthroughplay #oozeinspo https://www.instagram.com/p/CGPqpoqj1aQ/?igshid=59e9ke9ncdl0
