Family Fun and Fitness at the Zoo I’m amazed at how much family fun and fitness there is where
we live. Everywhere you turn there is an event, activity or place to go where everyone can get some exercise in.
We make up a million excuses which block us from enjoying this though. I’m personally somewhat of a homebody. I like being at home.
I can talk myself out of doing anything. How about you? It’s either too cold, too hot, something great is on TV or you tell yourself you’re saving money. However, the next day you buy a new blu ray movie or something else worthless from the store.
Most of the time when we dread doing something and we actually end up going, we end up having way more fun than we thought.
Family Fun and Fitness at the Zoo Family Fun and Fitness – Just Take a Chance
You should really just take a chance every now and then and try something new with your family in the area of fitness. You might end up enjoying it so much that you end up doing it once every two weeks or a month.
It can give you something to really look forward to and give everyone in your family some form of fitness. Do enough of these activities each month and you’ve got yourself no hassle, easy ways to exercise.
Family Fun and Fitness at the Zoo Family Fun and Fitness – We Love The Zoo!
I have to admit something. At the very beginning I wasn’t a fan of the zoo. I really can’t pinpoint the main reasons why but I do remember going several times when it was blistering hot.
Sweat dripping down my face and sides after 10 minutes isn’t my idea of fun. We’ve learned now that you just have to choose wisely which days you go.
The zoo really is a great place to get some family fitness in though. Every time we go I estimate we all burn several hundred calories. I believe places like this really do promote exercise for kids in sort of an unspoken way.
Family Fun and Fitness at the Zoo We all know the main activity at a zoo which promotes
fitness is walking. Lots of walking. I also see plenty of children running, skipping and jumping.
Most zoo’s have large playgrounds as well where they climb, hop, leap, chase and balance. Did you know both my daughters favorite activity at the zoo is the playground?
My daughters also love the play area which has tons of padding. It’s like a jumper’s playhouse except it’s outdoors. You can see my oldest daughter in the photo above leaping mid-air onto the padded floor.
I really wanted to get in their and wrestle around with them but there was a sign that said no horse play!
Family Fun and Fitness at the Zoo If you’re a homebody like me there is hope! Just try a
new family fun and fitness activity this week because I know you’ll love it!
