Staying Active Beyond Working Out

[Michele1975 37]

My husband and I are looking for ways to stay active on the weekends, beyond our workouts. What are some ideas? I'm sad to say that after being sedentary for so many years, I'm at a bit if a loss! Keep in mind we have an almost-3 year old that we'd like to include in our activities.

Thanks in advance for your input!

Walking, picnics, swimming, bike riding. Enjoy the summer weather.

Go to the zoo, beach,kid friendly museums and exhibitions.

Beach in the summer is a huge one for us - and my daughter makes sure I actually swim. She can go all day. We pick a dog beach and take the doggie too.

My boys as teenagers are way too cool to be seen at the beach with their geriatric mother in a bikini, sigh.

Ugh! We're about 5 hours from the beach, or I'd be there all the time. (I am going through MAJOR beach withdrawals right now, in fact!!)

Any other ideas out there?

Any kid of activity. I did the Warrior Dash a few weeks ago. Had a blast doing it and though it was a little bit of a workout. (Running, crawling, climbing, etc.) It did not feel like one, it was just fun. I'm going to do the Survival Race next (very similar to Warrior Dash). One of the woman who I went with posted about the Adirondack Adventure, which looks like fun. It even entails zip lining. I'm trying to venture out and try new things lately. It's exercise while having fun and being around friends.

Biking and hiking are the two biggies for our family (we have a 9 yr old).....gonna try canoeing and white Water rafting in the next month also....most states have good hiking and biking trails

Oh and playing frisbee, cornhole, catch with the softball, and jumping on the trampoline (best investment for our daughter ever!)

A trampoline sounds like a great idea----fun!!! Also love the idea of "playing". I think we forget about staying active by playing like kids.

Bowling and mini golf. Kids love it and I am tired by the end

Love it!
