Get Off the Chair: 7 Enjoyable Out-of-doors Games for Lifestyle Family Fitness

Out of doors lifestyle family activities are very popular this time around of year. And while you sometimes would rather be laying by the beach with a beverage in hand, you could have fun and get in a little physical exercise and still enjoy the outdoors.

I love being outdoors and playing games with the family group during a nice stress-free saturday and sunday. Below I've listed 7 efficient ways to have fun and stay fit. Just make sure that you stay well hydrated during the day to prevent any serious injuries:

1. Croquet

Here's another great household game. Make sure that you look up the rules, because it's more fun if you know how to play.

2. Actively playing Catch

There's nothing like a small game of catch with a family member as a way to relationship. Whether it's a soccer or baseball, it's a great way to stay limber and have fun while you're at it.

3. Disc throwing

Frisbee is a staple of the warm weather conditions months, especially at a park where you may have a little more room to roam.

4. Basketball

Either way, it's great exercise.

5. Going swimming

Hit that local swimming pool with the family; nothing better than a nice dip on a hot summer day time.

6. Horseshoes

Put a couple rods down and have a great round of shoes -- it's a great partner activity.

7. Volley ball

Set up a volleyball net in the yard. It's not as big a deal as you might think. Once you get a quick game going, it's fun to get the sweat going with a friendly competition.

Regarding Teen Fitness: Lifestyle Family Fitness

I do know from personal experience it can be very difficult to get up off that large comfy sofa in the living room. Sitting there as a family passing time together watching the television, what a easy way to spend your night together, right? Well I do think we can all say that there are good ways to invest some quality time together.

I live in a family group with two parents who put in full days of work and often when they go back home the sofa is the first instance they go to relax. Well, I have taken it into my personal hands to change the habit they started. I let them know that when they have to unwind after a long day why not go outside for a few oxygen and spend some time together.

I’m thankful that we live near to nature trails so several times per week we make an effort to take the dog for a walk-through the hiking trails for a couple of hours. Not only do we get an excellent cardiovascular workout going up and down hillsides all day long but we also spend the entire time talking. Naturally, nothings more boring than going on a walk without having talking. For those who don't get the chance I have to live within walking distance of some hiking trails, you might consider going for a walk across town or to a neighborhood park.

My mother and father aren't exactly the running type so that method works out great for everyone and at the end of the day you don't feel guilty sitting down to watch your favorite shows. I enjoy having the time to talk to my folks and sort through the challenges of the day so, it's a win for everybody.

My adventure for next week is to take them out camping to get some canoing and kayaking in before the cold temperature begins to roll in. There will always be choices to keep active you just need to have a little creativity! Always remember, when you help to make it fun it isn't work.
