BACK TO SCHOOL FITNESS TIPS(FOR PARENTS)
With kids returning back to school earlier this week, it’s essential to focus on their health and well-being. As a parent, when your kids are back in school, it can be a good time to prioritize your own fitness and well-being. Here are some fitness tips for parents to come back stronger after the summer break:
PRIORITISE SELF-CARE
Remember that taking care of yourself is crucial. When you feel your best, you can better support your children and manage the demands of the school year.
CREATE MOVEMENT MEMORIES
Incorporate physical activity into family time. Go for hikes, bike rides, or play sports together to make fitness a fun family affair.
PLAN ACTIVE COMMUTES
If possible, walk or bike with your children to school, or park a bit farther from the school to encourage some extra steps.
JOIN A GROUP CLASS
Consider enrolling in a fitness class or group activity that interests you. This can provide structure, accountability, and an opportunity to socialise. Or perhaps, you might even find a support group.
ADAPT AND FLEX
Be flexible with your fitness routine. There will be days when unexpected school-related issues arise. On such days, do your best and resume your routine the next day.
Remember that taking care of your own health and well-being sets a positive example for your children. By prioritising fitness and self-care, you not only benefit yourself but also create a healthier family environment.
