Walk: Going on walks every day is easy and requires nothing but your body. Simply take a few laps around your neighborhood or spice it up and turn your walk into a hike! Walks are also the perfect time to talk and catch up with your child.

Swimming: Going for a long swim during the summer is a great way to get in some cardio. It’s always fun to have races or time your child going from one end of the pool and back. Don’t have access to a pool? Make a day of it and go to your nearest lake or even the beach, just don’t forget to put on sunscreen!

Dance Party: Having a random dance party is always fun. Let your child put together a playlist of five or so songs and dance through them all! This is a great way to learn your kid’s music taste and build some confidence in their dance moves.
