How Fit Is Your Family?
Does everyone spend too much time playing computer games or watching TV? Sadly, the average child today spends almost 30 hours per week playing games and watching TV. Did you know that fitness, especially through activities like karate and martial arts, can help create tighter bonds within your family, resulting in a much happier one?
Doing some type of family fitness activity allows everyone to spend some fun time together. As a parent, you need to have the intuition to start some type of family fitness routine. Maybe, you need to lose a few pounds so you can enlist the help of your kids to keep you company on your walks or bike rides.
Family fitness doesn’t have to be a strict fitness-type activity either. You don’t have to take up training for a 5K or start working out with weights. Try to come up with something fun for the entire family. This might be going for a family hike to see some scenic waterfalls. Or you could start playing basketball or soccer together.
Heck training karate together as a family is super fun and is a fitness activity that the whole family can take part in.
Your kids will be more likely to join your new activity if it is a fun one. How about suggesting that you go try out some martial arts lessons together to see if you would all like it?
Family fitness does not have to be rigid. It can be a fun time for everyone involved, especially when you bring elements of karate and martial arts into the mix.
Once you start training as a family why not let each family member choose a martial arts activity to do each week? This way, no one is left out, and you all get to try lots of new activities. So what martial arts fitness activity are you going to do this weekend with your family?
