Staying active is so important for so many aspects of health. Exercise can have such a positive effect when it comes to heart health, maintaining a healthy weight and even stress relief<\/a>.\u00a0 While we know that staying active and moving is beneficial, current events are making staying active tougher for many families.<\/p>\n

We’re going on a month of social distancing and while we do our best to keep active, some days it feels like our house can explode with all the energy that these kiddos have.\u00a0 Gyms are closed, we’re sheltered-in-place in our home, stressed and we’ve lost our normal routines that we relied on to stick to our health goals. Add in energetic kiddos and finding ways to exercise, relieve stress and burn off some energy is a must!<\/p>\n

A few of the things that have really helped our family stay more active during this time has been making activity a part of our daily routine. Since we’ve added learning at home to our list of “quarantine life” changes, gym\/physical education has been added in daily. We’ve had to adapt and change our normal routines to more family-friendly options that allow everyone in our house to participate!<\/p>\n

Every day we schedule in an activity that gets us moving and exercising. It’s a perfect break from learning time to allow my kiddos to have fun and let loose, while I take the time to hit reset and refuel my patience with a bit less structured work. Exercising has always been a great stress-reliever for me so it’s been a great way to help blow off some steam and anxious energy. Staying flexible about our activities, what we do and where we do it, has been a huge factor as well.<\/p>\n
