I often hear about how people spend family time together, and I am baffled at how many consider family time to be sitting on the couch, watching TV in silence while everyone is on their mobile devices doing something else entirely. Is this really family time? What value is it actually bringing to your family? Have you ever done any family fitness activities?
Don’t get me wrong; I understand that people need to rest and recover from their busy days, and some relaxation is necessary to reset. But every day? For hours? Surely something better can be done to deepen your connections and have fun as a family.
When I was a kid, I trained in Kung Fu. What many people don’t know is that my uncle and my dad did so as well. At some stage, I was even in the same class as my dad, and my uncle taught us on occasion. I also eventually taught my dad. It was a bonding experience, something we could share and talk about. When people struggle to express themselves and their emotions, sometimes all you need is something you share to deepen a relationship.
Working out in front of others can be quite a vulnerable thing. You get sweaty and uncomfortable, putting your weaknesses on display. There is a degree of realism. Often our kids may see us as gods. When they reach their teenage years, they see us as complete failures (lol). But ultimately, we are all human, and working out together makes us more relatable to each other because we are working together through difficulty to accomplish something.
The Importance of Family Fitness Activities
Family fitness activities are more than just a way to stay fit; they are an investment in your family’s long-term health and happiness. Research from the CDC highlights that active children perform better academically and show improved behavior and self-esteem. By engaging in fitness activities together, you are setting a positive example for your children, teaching them the value of health and fitness.
Creating Healthy Habits That Last a Lifetime
Building healthy habits outside the school routine is vital. These practices should become a natural part of everyday life, something your children will carry into adulthood. This holistic approach to family time can be life-changing, fostering stronger relationships and a healthier lifestyle.
