Last night my daughter and I played several games of what I like to call "Crazy Tennis." We had our rackets, we were on a court, and there were definitely tennis balls being hit. However, someone skilled in the sport of tennis would have looked at us like we were crazy. Hence the name. Crazy Tennis is not about the rules of the game - it is about having fun. It is a fun time of chasing that little yellow ball all over the place and laughing along the way. It is about spending time with my daughter with the added bonus of keeping fit and healthy.
There are so many fun things we can do with our kids that provide a means of exercise for everyone involved. Inspired by a post from Leo over at Zen Habits, I came up with a list of 10 fun activities we all can do with our kids or grand kids that are fun and good for the body.
1. Play a game of chase
2. Dance together (Be extra silly - your kids will love it!)
3. Go swimming
4. Try a game of Tennis
5. Jump rope
6. Ride bikes
7. Play catch (You can use any kind of ball)
8. Play Wii sports
9. Play a game of soccer
10. Jump on the trampoline
Our bodies not only need physical exercise, we need emotional exercise as well. Take the time to make memories with your kids. Love them and have fun with them!
