I gave a presentation today called ‘Creating Fit Families’ to help inspire and support parents as they do the same for their own families.  Someone asked me what are some exercises/fitness activities you can do if you don’t have a lot of money or you can’t really leave your house. Well — many of the ideas below are great things you can do WITH your kids at home.

Push-ups
Burpees
Jump rope (if the weather is bad, you can do this in your garage!)
Balance Disc
Squats
Lunges
Planks

Some equipment to have on hand:
Jump rope (weighted or standard)
medium-sized rubber ball: four square, kickball, dodgeball
tennis ball: tennis, catch (people or with a dog), batting practice
softball: softball, catch
Frisbee™: various games including Ultimate Frisbee™; catch

Repurpose/recycle everyday household items to turn them into free kids’ fitness equipment
