Anyone have ideas for ways to get in shape and involve the kids? My whole family really needs to get moving and get some exercise!

Hey Mak,
I can think of lots of fun things to do with kids to get exercise. You can go on hiking trails and walk, enjoy nature and just have fun. Also, you can all get bikes and go to local bike trails and ride. Walking around the neighborhood with your kids after dinner at night. Take a trip to the skating rink and skate for the first time since you were a kid---we have done this a few times, it was a lot of fun and boy did my legs feel it the next morning.
Anyone else have any great ideas to share?

Hi everybody,
I totally agree with you Mark that exercise is needed now more than ever , specially when the kids play soccer and basketball only on the computer! So, this is what I do with my kids...
After one of the family meetings it has been agreed that 3 times a week we conduct sports lessons that include eurobics stretching or even dancing ! ...it works :)But You have to be consistent about it otherwise it won't
Good Luck :)

i also think it would be beneficial for kids to get active not only physically good for them (and Me) but a great way to release anxiety and stress and a great way to relate and bond.
walking the dog ,dancing is one of our favorets , yoga , there is also a dvd workout that is focused manly on walking and includes a stretchy band , it has a great sound track and my kids seem to really enjoy it.
