Move Your Bum[mer] This Summer!

Family Summer Fun

Summertime is the perfect time to get a jumpstart on (or continue living) a healthy lifestyle. The weather is warm, the pool is open, people are outside, and the sun is shining. It’s the perfect season to get active outdoors, play with your kids/pets, eat delicious and nutritious food, and try new activities! Here are just a few suggestions. I challenge you to check off 3!

-       Bike to the park, around town, to the grocery store, to work, etc.

-       Go rollerblading

-       Play a round of golf

-       Hand wash your car

-       Do some gardening

Washing the Car

-       Mow the lawn

-       Go on a hike

-       Play catch

-       Go shopping (leave your wallet at home if you don’t want to spend $$)

-       Make a bookshelf

-       Do an outdoor workout with your family, group of friends or neighborhood (Check back next week for a no-equipment-needed workout routine with photos!).

-       Teach your kids some outdoor games (i.e. hopscotch, freeze tag, red light green light)

-       Pack a picnic lunch instead of going out to eat

What are some ideas that you have come up with for staying active outdoors? Share it with us by making a comment!
