3 Family Fitness New Year's Resolutions

Family fitness has many benefits, as it's a perfect moment for bonding, staying healthy, and reducing stress. Here are three ways you and your family can practice family fitness this new year.

Prepare More Healthy Meals

It might seem like healthy meals are impossible to achieve sometimes, with everyone’s daily routines and commitments. Preparing healthy meals doesn’t have to mean hours in the kitchen, but it can be as easy as:

• Eating more fruits and vegetables daily.
• Reducing the amount of sodium, fat, and sugar in your cooking.
•  Lowering the amount of processed food you consume.

Explore New Ways of Exercising

Another great way to include fitness in your family resolutions is by finding new ways of exercising. Exercise as a family can start with a walk around the neighborhood or throwing a ball for a few minutes. The idea is to find the fun in movement and find something you’ll enjoy as a family.

Use Other Transportation Methods

Transportation methods like a bike, a scooter, or walking to get around your neighborhood are another great way to promote family fitness. Taking a walk to the library, a friend’s house or biking to school in the morning are all great ways to move more and enjoy the outdoors as a family.

Family fitness can be a worthy goal for your family this year. If you’re looking for more ways to get moving, call Stretch-n-Grow in Winston-Salem, NC, at (336) 287-1193 and ask about their excellent fitness programs for children, and don’t forget to ask for a demo class.
