Family Fitness Challenge

To help start off the New Year and get the family back into our active routine, we are using a 21 day fitness challenge chart.  My kids love stuff like this. Every one needs to do something active each day and they are allowed 1 day of rest each week. This helps us all work to keep each other accountable. My 8 year old son loves to see that he is winning and my husband knows that he better get into gear because if he doesn’t do anything, he doesn’t make the chart. Our first week was a little crazy and tough for the two of us, but the kids did great.

It is fun to have some friendly competition and accountability in the family. It starts great conversation about why we it is important to be active and it has definitely been a great motivator for everyone. Right now, it is all about moving. It doesn’t matter what your activity is. Everyone just needs to be active every day in some way.

Download the  Family Fitness Challenge Chart  you can use with your family. This is ours hanging on the fridge. We color code our names so we can easily tell who is active and who is not. Have fun!

As with all activity, make sure your family is cleared by a doctor and safe to exercise. See a fitness professional if you are unsure. See our disclaimer here.
