Fun Fit Ideas for Mom & Kids

As a mom of five kids I know that it can be very hard to take time to care for yourself while still giving the very best to your children. Although taking care of yourself is an important part of succeeding as a parent it is often one of the first things neglected when times get rough. Today I want to share with you five easy ways to care for yourself by helping your physical fitness while enjoying time with your children.

Jumping - When was the last time you got on the trampoline with the kids? I know, for me it's been a while but it's one of the things I am excited to do again after this baby arrives. My kids love playing with mom and dad on the trampoline or in the bounce house. Both are great fun and playing games like dead man and crack the egg will create memories that you and your children will cherish for a lifetime.

 Walking - Going for a walk is a simple way to stay physically fit with your kids. It's easy to load even the smallest of kids into a stroller or baby carrier and go enjoy the fresh air. Walking your kids to school or the park is a great way to make sure you're getting enough exercise. Or, if you're really feeling adventurous, try walking to the grocery store or the mall. With the cooler air of fall here now is the perfect time to start a walking routine.

 Play Catch - This is an activity that I used to do with my dad. There is nothing like spending an evening playing catch in the yard. If you have a large enough family, or friends you can recruit, then a game of kickball is a great option as well. It's not hard and doesn't take any special equipment but will give you some quality time with your kids while giving you the exercise your body needs.

Ride Bikes - This is an activity that our family is looking forward to doing together. At this point I still have more little kids that can't ride their own bikes then I do ability to carry them on or behind an adult bike but bike rides are another great memory from my childhood. There is a lot you can see when riding a bike and it's a great way for kids to explore their neighborhoods with their parents.



Yoga - Yoga is a great option to do as a family. This is probably our favorite fitness activity because it's great for kids of any age and something that doesn't take a lot of planning ahead. Yoga can be made to fit any skill level and helps with strengthening, flexibility and relaxation (to name a few) so everyone can benefit. My children's favorite part of the yoga experience tends to be trying to tip mom over as she tries to balance but it's all in good fun and we really do have a great time together. As a bonus, I always feel better and sleep better after spending a little time on a yoga mat.

While you and your little one are out and about and moving make sure that you are protected from any diaper leakage with Pampers Cruisers and their three Extra Absorb Channels. You'll notice a difference in the amount your child is weighed down by their diaper and you'll love that a donation is made to families in need when you use Pampers. You're child will love that they stay in place but flex and move with them as they enjoy spending time with the ones they love most!
