It's not just about the kids, though. We also have to de-stress and take care of ourselves. Maybe you love to run at the end of your day or hit yoga after dropping the kids off at school. I personally love walking with a friend, as well as riding bikes with the kids around the neighborhood. Do you love Zumba? Are you into CrossFit? Do you or your kids train for the next 5K together?
It can be challenging to find the right fitness trend or sport that fits your family's tastes and schedules, but when we do it can be a lot of fun (and what mom doesn't need a little more of that?)!
For our family, we're all about HIP HOP these days!
When we moved here almost a year ago, we looked for a quick way for the kids to make friends and get connected. It turned out that there was this fun hip hop studio just opening about five minutes down the road. My oldest two watched videos over the summer and couldn't wait for classes to start in August. They've been hooked ever since!
My daughter decided to try the competition team and hasn't wanted to skip a single practice! My son works on his dance moves around the clock, which of course means my 3-year-old is preparing for his own hip hop debut. Even Mom tries to hit an evening dance workout for the grownups once a week. It's become a family affair (with the exception of my 6'4" husband who's waiting for my kids to join the basketball team)! We all have a blast cranking up the beats and tearing up the family room dance floor at home (Please, no videos).
So this post is a shout out to our new favorite activity...and to my daughter's dance crew, who keeps bringing home first place!
What's your family's favorite activity? SHARE!
