Exercising can be a chore for all of us especially when we have been at school all day and we’ve come home stressed out to the max. There are many ways for young adults to get their exercise to help relieve some of that stress and make them a healthier person.
Encourage them to join activities at school like track. Track is a good exercise and they would be doing it everyday at school and than maybe at night too. Track would be a sport in school activities and exercise as well to keep their bodies in shape and healthy.
Many ways to get involved in schools that would be beneficial to your child’s health, which you can check your local area to find out about these youth groups. If track doesn’t appeal to them, they might like baseball, softball, football, basketball, or even cheerleading. These school activities sometimes require after school practice giving them even more exercise.
Try to have a family outing like going camping and taking the bikes with you. Young adults as well as older one like to ride bikes. Go somewhere that has a trail so you can explore the woods by riding around the campground. If you don’t have a camper and can’t borrow, try finding a tent to make it even more of a challenge.
Pools are good for exercise if your funds can handle the expense. Have a swimming pool put in the back yard or send them to the YMCA to swim. Besides swimming the YMCA has many other things to do, this would be a nice Christmas or birthday gift for the hard to buy for child.
If your child likes swimming and if the weather is nice suggest that maybe they could assist the swimming instructor to help with the little one just learning to swim. Being in the water is good exercise to help build up strength in the leg muscles and joints. Teens like to do fun things and this would be fun for them working with the 5 and 6 years old teaching them to swim.
If your child likes riding bikes, encourage them to train for a marathon. Training is hard work and a lot of exercise is involved with it to make the body strong and healthy. Suggest that they ride in a marathon charity benefit for a good cause. This will teach them working hard for someone else can be rewarding to them and the cause.
Volunteering your time at the nearest nursing home is good for the self-esteem and confidence. Your child will get in a lot of activities and exercise by walking the patients up and down the hall or taking them outside to get some fresh air. What a great way to spend your time and exercise with it.
Exercising needs to be fun for everyone or you lose motivation to keep doing it.
Being creative with your ideas and encouraging, your child will help keep the motivation going strong. Help them to make a goal and you could join in with them making even more fun for both of you. Encourage your child to plan his strategies to make it more fun.
Plans and goals will help your child develop healthy skills that he or she can use as they start to mature. Activities bring rewards and it helps your child by allowing them to use their muscles, which this promotes good health.
To learn more about youth groups and activities check out the resources online, or go to your schools to find out what they offer to your children. Does your child participate in charity?
