* Find a My Gym for kids near your home now!
Wednesday, November 01, 2006
Are you in a rut? With so many things pressing on your time you may think you don't have the energy to plan kid's exercise that is fresh and fun. Think again!
Kid's exercise may be something they are bored with because they do the same things over and over. Just try getting a child to take the same walk every night. Something gets lost with the repetition and it just isn't nearly as exciting as it once was.
Try making a game out of the kid's exercise walk experience. Make a list of things the child should find on the walk and let the child who finds the most things choose a small treat for all the walkers. Play a counting game while on your evening walk and the child will not only be getting some exercise but will also be working on her math skills.
The same thing can be done with spelling. Have a contest between the walkers and see who can spell the most words that relate to the walk. Just spell the things you see on your walk. You can also play a game of "I Spy" while walking.
Get out the bikes and keep the kid's exercise games going. You can have races or set up an obstacle course. These games and contests even work with kids who use Big Wheels or trikes.
Take the children to a kid's gym for an afternoon of kid's exercise fun. Let them invite a friend or two. When they have a great time exercising you can give them a membership for a Christmas or birthday gift.
Kid's exercise can be fresh and fun when you use a little creativity.
