- Family exercise doesn’t need to feel like a chore — the key is to make it fun and flexible.
- Activities don’t have to be traditional workouts; they can include kayaking, sledding, hiking, or even chopping wood together.
- Scheduling just 30 minutes once a week without phones helps families bond, connect, and stay active.
- Community involvement, like participating in local walks or races, can add motivation and variety.
- Giving every family member a voice in choosing activities helps build engagement and enjoyment.
- Planning and organizing group activities ensures everyone participates and enjoys moving together.
