Daddy and Me Workouts

Father’s day honors and acknowledges the contribution of the fathers to the society, and instills a sense of respect in the heart of their children. These sentiments help to strengthen the bond between father and child. In a world where we are always on the go, dads don’t always get enough time to spend with the children, so it’s important to spend real quality time whenever possible (and no, television does not count as real quality time).

Developing a relationship around a healthy lifestyle has many benefits and creates activities that you can both do forever. Since children model their parent’s behavior, it’s best to practice what you preach and lead by example. Exercising together can be a wonderful experience for both you and your child. It teaches them commitment, discipline, and develops positive exercise habits at a young age.

Exercise doesn’t have to feel like a chore or a punishment for eating something “bad.” When established early in life, healthy habits will become a normal part of your child’s everyday routine. Daddy and Me workout boot camps are gaining popularity nowadays but you don’t need to drag the kids to the gym to ingrain healthy habits.

Here are 3 simple ways to spend quality time and workout with your kids.

1. Biking Together—Cycling regularly is a good-for-all-ages, low-impact exercise that’s fun, good for the environment, helps your kids to get to know their way around the neighborhood, and inexpensive after the initial purchase of the bikes. (Some companies offer family packages on bicycles with affordable monthly payment plans like this one here.)
2. Family Walks—Walks are a fantastic way to disconnect from technology. From working on the computer to after school/work television and incessant texting, the best thing we can do for ourselves is something as simple as walking.
3. Jumping on a Trampoline—Jumping on a trampoline is a fantastic and fun way for the family to exercise without feeling like you’re exercising. You can read more about all the amazing health benefits of using a trampoline here.
