Keeping your family active is incredibly important for your health and well-being, especially during a pandemic. Regular physical activity will keep you all in great physical shape so you can ward off illness and avoid stress as the pandemic continues. And you don’t have to spend much — if anything — to enjoy the benefits of a great workout. From road cycling to living room yoga, here are some affordable activity ideas for the whole family to try.
Save Money on Fitness Gear
Exercise equipment and fitness clothing don’t have to break the bank. Buying used, making your own gear, or cashing in coupons can help you save a lot of money.
- Try building a family-friendly home gym with DIY equipment.
- Shop around for fitness items and compare prices online.
- Save money on fitness gear from retailers like Nike with cash-back offers and coupons.
- Buy some gently-used bikes instead of splurging on brand new models.
Try Some New Indoor Activities
If you’ve been following at-home workouts in your living room, great! Try shaking things up with some new family activities.
- Plan an energizing dance party in your living room.
- Encourage your kids to join you for an at-home yoga session.
- Try some active indoor games like hallway bowling, hide and seek, and hopscotch.
Plan an Outdoor Adventure
Exercising outside is safe and highly recommended during the pandemic. Use this opportunity to explore the great outdoors.
- Rent a couple of kayaks and explore a local lake or waterway.
- Take your kids geocaching around your neighborhood.
- Keep hikes exciting for your kids with nature scavenger hunts.
- Grab a pair of binoculars and take your kids out birdwatching.
Being stuck inside all day can make it challenging to stay active. Thankfully, there are plenty of ways to get your family moving, whether you’d rather stay close to home or you feel comfortable venturing out into the world. Get creative, find ways to save money, and get moving!
