Health Briefs TV Shares Family Fitness Tips

Paddle boarding is fun


Families that stay fit together live longer lives together. Health Briefs TV shares some family fitness tips.

There is always someplace in and around the home in which to enjoy exercise and fitness as a family.
A home with a yard, driveway or sidewalk is a good place to start. City parks, beaches, and neighborhoods are other places to consider.

Take an energizing walk after meals and when the sun is not too hot. Early morning before 10 AM and after 5 PM are perfect times to go outside and enjoy the last few days of summer vacation before school starts up again. Be sure to do some stretches first to warm up muscles and joints.

Hop skotch, jump rope and skipping are not only fun but help family members stay agile.

If the weather is not good, find a fun dance workout on Wii, DVD or on cable television.  Move furniture out of the way and dance for a few minutes to shake out stress and stiff muscles and joints.

Have a family pet? Take the pooch on the family walk or jog around the neighborhood. Everyone on two legs and four will enjoy this walk/jog.

Live near a lake or the ocean? Stand up paddle boarding is all the rage. Boards and paddles can be rented for about $25. Suit up and head on over to the rental store for yours and paddle your way across the water. Health Briefs TV will be trying this out soon.
