Looking for fun ways to stay active with your family? We've got you covered! Whether you’re strolling through the neighborhood or tackling a virtual challenge, these workout ideas will keep everyone active—and the best part? It won’t even feel like exercise!
Who says walking has to be boring? Turn your regular neighborhood stroll into a fun adventure! Create a scavenger hunt where you and your family look for certain items like a red door, a flower, or even a friendly dog. First one to spot everything wins bragging rights (or maybe they pick the movie for family night!).
Feeling competitive? Track your steps and see who racks up the most by the end of the week. Better yet, join one of Run The Edge’s virtual fitness challenges for some extra motivation and a little friendly competition!
Transform your backyard into a fun fitness zone! Set up different stations with easy exercises like jumping jacks, squats, and, of course, walking laps. Everyone can take turns being the “coach,” leading the family through each exercise and cheering them on!
No backyard? No problem! Head to your local park and turn park benches, playground equipment, and open paths into your fitness course. It’s a fun way get some fresh air and break a sweat together.
Get out there and soak up the great outdoors with a family hike!
Crank up the tunes and have a family dance party right in your living room! Dancing is a fantastic way to get moving and have a blast while doing it. Let each person pick their favorite song, show off their best moves, and laugh ‘til your sides hurt. Who says exercise has to be serious?
Want to switch it up? Try a dance workout video online! It’ll get your heart pumping and have everyone sweating—and laughing—in no time. It’s a fun way to get your heart pumping, and you’ll be surprised at how quickly the time flies by.
Set a step goal for the whole family—daily, weekly, whatever works! Track your steps with fitness tracker apps and celebrate when everyone hits their target with a fun reward (like choosing what’s for dinner, or skipping weekly chores for kids).
Step challenges are an awesome way to stay active together, and they pair perfectly with Run The Edge’s virtual challenges. The best part? They’re great for all ages, so everyone can get in on the fun.
If your family enjoys a good challenge, why not sign up for one of the best virtual fitness challenges out there? These challenges let you set goals, track progress, and celebrate the wins—whether you’re walking, running, or just getting more movement in your day.
The best part? You can do it from anywhere! Plus, many challenges come with cool medals or rewards—perfect for keeping everyone motivated.
Sometimes, the simplest things are the best. Take a walk around the block and use the time to catch up on each other’s day. It’s a perfect way to bond while sneaking in a little exercise. Win-win!
