Family and Fitness

 

 

 

Just maybe Family Day would be better as Family Health & Fitness Day?!?  One way to maintain our well-being is participation in health and fitness activities not only as an individual, but as a family

I heard the other day on the radio that families are just "chillin" on the down days because they are so busy, running around doing activities.  That is all great, but when we find yourselves gathered as a family, we are  busy on  computers, iPods, iPhones, iPads, and anything else with a screen! Turns out being too busy just isn't an excuse to not workout, it is a code word for I am not interested or we have no control over our time ~ time with one another and our families!

So its time to get up and get moving - together.  I could rant on about the culture of entitlement we are mired in but I won't, but it begs the attention - for another day!

I like The Things to Canada

website for things to do!  It might be a wintery day but there is always something happening...lots to do in any home town in Canada.

• Ice Fishing
• Snowshoeing
• Skiing or Snowboarding
• A walk in the trails bird watching
• And there is always plenty to do indoors as well.
• Swimming
• Visit the museums
• Indoor rock climbing and trampoline parks
• The Movies!
• Indoor Go-carting

These are just some of the activities you could participate in as a family.  I think Family Day could be Family Health & Fitness Day, dedicated to promote family involvement in physical activity and healthy living. Across the country, local organizations could host health and family fitness events at schools, parks, hospitals, malls, gyms and other community based locations.

 

However you decide to celebrate, be creative, have fun and be actively involved in your family’s health and fitness! What healthy activities will you and your family participate in to honor Family Day? Share your plans below.
