Your fitness ideas for the fall are right on spot! Thank you.
We have been doing some hiking as we have relatives that live in Canmore Alberta, right in the mountains! We also love going for bike rides and nature walks! Swimming as well!!
This fall has been so nice there is no excuse to get out & do something
We are liimited now to what we can do. We used to love riding bikes but no longer can as my son has too many seizures regularly and unexpected so now we go for nature walks as they are safer in case he seizes
It’s so important to get outside and move! I love walking in the forest and going for jogs with my little one!
Flag Football – what a great idea – since it doesn’t feel like exercise – more apt to follow. Great family fun – exercise and family fitness doesn’t have to be a five letter word – SWEAT.
