Did 30 Day shred yesterday and then went roller blading with the kids to increase my daily calorie burn. Anyone have other ideas for fun family exercise? My kids are 8, 11, 14.

We are in California, so there is no snow where we live. Temp is about 64 today.

    Oh wow with those great temps the options are endless! I dream of having weather like that more then 3 months of the year lol. We struggle here to stay active in the winter especially since my youngest and I detest being cold. Bike riding, hiking, playing basically any darn sport... we do those things all summer and have a blast!

    Although I understand what you're saying... I would NOT count this as family exercise. Use Xbox connect as a family activity, that just happens to burn cals as well =)

    Find outdoor or exercise specific things to do as exercise.
    Biking, Hiking, Swimming, Throwing a football/baseball, playing basketball, playing silly games like tag, etc!
    Turn pushups/situps/pullups into a competition and see who can do the most.
    Etc!

    we like bike rides along our lake shore, hikes through our forests, walks through town. Winter is just about here so those will have to wait for spring. We go swimming at the public pool, build snow men and snow forts and shovel snow as a family.

    I love playing badminton with my dad, it is amazingly fun! And it gives us the opportunity to let loose all of the frustration and anger we build up through the weeks - especially for me, since I always win :laugh:
