you and your children risk of major illnesses such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes and other

Yoga


Yoga is an excellent way of being mindful, and it is straightforward too. There are lots of guided yoga
sessions on YouTube, such as channels such as Yoga with Adriene. Yoga is excellent for beginners
because it is straightforward to get started. All you need is some comfortable clothes, a vast space
that you when your children can practice yoga on and a device you can search up the guided yoga
session on. Getting into the mindset for yoga is simple because you know this will benefit your children.
Most yoga mats in the UK are under £10, so if you and your children get into learning
various yoga levels, you can invest in a yoga mat. This can show your children that you enjoy and
want to continue spending time with them. Yoga benefits children in a lot of different ways, yoga helps
teach children calming techniques, encourages healthy habits and also yoga is non-competitive. If you
are not the fittest but want to do yoga with your children, there are a lot of secure yoga positions out
there.


Walking


Walking around a field or in a wood can be beneficial for the mind. Going out for a walk with your
children can help clear your mind from any anxiety or stress. Even if you don't live near a wood or
field, a walk in the street can also be as beneficial. The benefits for walking can improve the mood
is very relaxing and can clear your mind. Walking with your children can also help their mental health.
Children tend to open up and talk about their problems more when they are walking or distracted. You
may find that just having a chat while walking the dog, or even a walk to the shops together can
strengthen your relationship, and help you overcome any problems that have been bothering you.

cost-effective and enjoyable form of exercise.


Zumba 
There are some fitness classes and some group activities that you can partake in with your children.
Encouraging your children to move, and spend time doing something other than sitting on consoles at
home, it’s going to improve their lives significantly. If you aren’t sure about the classes available to you
in your area, then you may find social media or local event listing sites can be useful here. Many
companies encourage families to join together, and there are significant benefits to this. A class such
as Zumba as well as being good for you, it’s great fun too, so it could be an excellent consideration for
you to take up this New Year. Many people have taken this course of action before and gone on to see
great results in a short amount of time. Not only physically but mentally too.


Martial arts
Martial arts may not be the first thing you thought of when you are considering a form of exercise with
your children. However, martial arts are excellent for discipline, fitness, strength, and confidence. And
not only physical benefits your child, but gives them so many more opportunities, and that includes
self-defence and tools for dealing with bullying. The effort required to achieve gradings, and working
up the belt system, can improve the brain cells, and determination that will enhance your child's
chances overall the older they become, and the closer they get to a career. Many adults also choose
to take up martial arts with their children, to spend more time together. However, they do also find
themselves thoroughly enjoying and committing to the martial art as well.


Sport
Many children will follow their relatives into the support of some kind, for example, if a father plays
rugby then generally the Sun will show an interest, and especially if a sport is enjoyed on the
television, together, there will be a shared interest and potential to join the activity in real life together.
Mostly this turns out to be a positive and the exercise and fitness benefits from this is well worth the
effort. Many families will spend plenty of hours on the side of the pitch on a Saturday or Sunday
afternoon, in all weather, for the love of the sport. And even if it isn’t a physical kind of competition
that your family chooses, a simple game of badminton, can bring out your child is the competitive
side, and spark a keen interest, in the competition for life.


Ultimately the most important thing is that everyone gets a healthy dose of exercise regularly. If
you’re able to spend time together as a family while doing so, that’s wonderful, and something to
be encouraged. Children are naturally more energetic and enjoy time exercising without thinking
about it too much. But if you can help more activity, especially in those children who are prone to
spending long periods on their computers, then everybody will benefit.
