When I see kids playing, I am struck by their unabashed energy. They jump, run, crouch down, swing around, hop on one foot, or spin themselves into a dizzy happiness. Kids fitness is fun, so go ahead, play like a kid! One of the simplest exercise tools to own and store away is a good old-fashioned jump rope. This is a fantastic tool to increase your cardiovascular strength and it improves your agility and coordination. Balancing on one foot either on a half circle BOSU, an inflatable balance disc or balance pod can be challenging and will help to improve stability and muscular endurance.

Jumping on a mini trampoline is another fun way to burn calories, increase heart rate and work up a sweat. Wobble boards, foam rollers and soft foam balance beams are reminiscent of childhood games. So not only do you get a great workout, you also add dimension to your routine. So put the energy back into your workout with a little kids fitness fun.

FITNESS TIPS: Playing outside with your kids burns calories, increases smiles and allows for some quality time together. Go jump in the puddles or chase snowflakes down a hill. Whatever it is, being a role model for fit fun teaches your children the importance of kids fitness through exercise.
