How to Make Family Fitness Routines Enjoyable

Family Fitness with StrongBoard Balance Board

Family fitness activities are a great way to get in shape and spend some quality time with your loved ones. With more and more emphasis on getting in shape, starting a family fitness routine can be little daunting, especially paying the high costs of gym memberships. However, there are a lot of activities families can participate in that provide both enjoyment and exercise, and require little or no cost at all.

As we all know children learn from the examples that parents provide, so making fitness a priority will pave the way for an active and healthy life. If you’ve got a busy family life, keeping fit might feel impossible. But, having children is even more of a reason to keep you active. It is advised that children above the age of 5 should be getting at least an hour of exercise a day, and below 5 years of age need even more than this.

Here are a few things you can do-

  • If your family wants to be successful at a family fitness plan, it’s a good idea to figure out what types of exercise each person enjoys.
  • Ensure to make a family fitness routine which can be fun and done each week, and also make sure to include one or more activities from each family member’s preferences. This will keep everyone happy and healthy.
  • A great way to exercise and get in some quality time with the family is to use a balance board. StrongBoard Balance is a great tool that is challenging and fun, and because of its versatility, can be used with the whole family no matter what age or fitness level. This revolutionary board will bring you and your family physical results, and create memories that you will all remember.
  • While making your family fitness routine, remember there are many fun playtime activities too which can help you meet your health goals. Many kids love to play soccer, baseball, or other recreational sports, which can help with their fitness. Cycling on a bike trail, skating at the local roller rink, or walking in the nearby park, are all fun options for good workouts. Such group exercises are not only good for your health but are simply good fun.
  • Don’t forget to take photographs of your family as they have a great time doing these things together. You can put these photos in picture frames throughout the house, and they will inspire and remind you that family fitness is fun.

Regardless of what you do, it is very crucial to design family fitness routines that are enjoyable. Always remember, having fun together as a family is as important as the physical activity itself.

Free First Class for All Newbies, Fitness Bloggers, & Media!

BAKERSFIELD and WILDOMAR, Calif. (August 4, 2015) – StrongBoard®, in partnership with IFS Studio in Bakersfield, Calif. and Exercise for Vitality in Wildomar, Calif., is offering StrongBoard Balance® fitness classes this month. Fitness bloggers, media, and newcomers are invited to attend the first class free of charge. The classes will feature StrongBoard Balance®, the revolutionary balance board.

Those in living in the Lake Elsinore/Wildomar area of Riverside County will also have a chance to join Exercise for Vitality’s all-new StrongBoard classes this month at Silver Oaks Pocket Park on Carnation Lane at Dahlia Lane in Wildomar.

“We’re very excited to bring our innovative StrongBoard classes to Bakersfield with our partners at IFS Studio,” said StrongBoard Balance creator Mike Curry. “More and more trainers and fitness enthusiasts are finding out about the benefits of StrongBoard Balance and its unique ability to give users an effective full-body workout!”

StrongBoard Balance is a portable, electricity-free platform resting on four compression springs, which allow users to train by using their own body weight for resistance during full-motion exercises.

“What interested us the most about using StrongBoard as a fitness tool was its ability to activate core and stabilizing muscles just by having someone stand on it,” explained Tammy Crompton, co-owner of IFS Studios. “This enables us, as fitness professionals, to add another element of difficulty, intensity, and fun to a client’s workout. This makes it a great tool for a fitness class because people of all fitness levels can participate together, yet be challenged individually with something that is unlike anything they’ve used before.”

The specialized program with the innovative balance board works the entire body, providing extra focus and attention on the abdominals, hips, buttocks, and arms. The class produces an effective combination of balance training, core strengthening, resistance, and cardio. Working out on StrongBoard Balance takes users of all fitness levels beyond their comfort zone, while delivering profound results. Users experience changes in how they look and feel, as well as an overall improvement in balance, core strength, agility, and posture.

“What drew me to StrongBoard Balance was how it looked,” said Erin Hartley, owner and operator of Exercise for Vitality. “I’d never seen anything like it and instantly felt the need to master it. The best thing about StrongBoard Balance is you never plateau – it challenges every fitness level. That’s what makes it ideal for fitness classes. At the end of a class you feel challenged, confident, and wanting more.”

“We encourage everyone to take advantage of these amazing classes and experience StrongBoard Balance for themselves,” said Curry. “You don’t need to be a pro athlete or a longtime fitness buff to use StrongBoard Balance. Whether you need to lose weight, tone your body, or improve your overall health, this is the workout you’ve been waiting for!”

Exercise Your Etiquette in a Group Fitness Class

Fit Moms = Fit Kids! StrongBoard Balance Board Group Fitness Class

Participating in a group fitness class is a great way to work out and create a community of like-minded fitness buddies. The following are common courtesy do’s and dont’s to help everyone enjoy class.

DO:

Reserve your spot ahead of time if an RSVP platform is available.

Show up 5-10 minutes early to set up any equipment, get water or towels, and introduce yourself to your instructor.

Keep an encouraging and positive attitude and remember that everyone is working at his or her own fitness level.

Be respectful of the space and equipment. Re-rack your weights, place all of your toys back where you found it. Use sanitizing wipes if necessary to clean up any sweat or grime for the next class.

Stay to the back of the room if you anticipate modifying any exercises so you don’t distract or confuse your classmates.

Tell your instructor if you have to leave early or if you have any injuries.

Lock up your stuff beforehand and leave valuables at home!

Be a helpful and caring classmate.

DON’T:

Be late! If you must, go to the back of the room and enter class as quietly as possible. If you are going to be more than 15 minutes, skip this one and take the next class. You may miss important safety information and can disrupt the class.

Be loud or chat during class, especially when your instructor is speaking. It’s distracting and rude.

Drop your weights. Carefully place weights down in front of you. Dropping weights is startling to many and can injure a fellow participant.

Chew gum, eat a snack, or bring anything other than water to a class. If you have a sugar issue and must consume something other than water, leave the classroom. Certain foods can destroy equipment and you don’t want to make a mess!

Bring an attitude! Group fitness is supposed to be fun! No one likes to be intimidated or brought down. Leave any drama at the door and let class bring you up.

Getting the Most Out of Group Fitness

Spectrum Palisades SarahAnn! StrongBoard Balance Board

Taking group fitness classes can be one of the best ways to boost your fitness routine and get the most out of any gym membership. Classes can motivate you to push yourself further than normal, try new exercises and fitness products, and stay on a consistent gym routine. Here are some tips to get the most out of your classes.

Show up early
Aim to get to class 10 minutes early. You’ll have a chance to meet the instructor, set up any equipment, and select a comfortable spot in the class. Rushing in last minute, robs you of the chance to physically and mentally prepare for class..

Get to know your instructor
They’re there to help! Don’t be shy to introduce yourself and tell your teacher what your fitness goals are. If your workout buddy bails, you’ll always have someone there to cheer you on.

Let your instructor know if you have injuries
If you’re coming back from a long break from the gym or have an injury, tell your instructor. No one wants to feel pushed too hard or get hurt. Any trainer worth their salt will give you extra attention and make sure you have the modifications or alternative equipment you need to workout safely.

Be prepared!
Always come with a water bottle or workout towel (if the gym doesn’t provide them). Bring sunscreen for sunny outdoor classes and make sure you have any equipment or clothing necessary before class. Taking a spin class? Call ahead to see if you need to bring or rent spinning shoes for class. Most gyms will loan out shoes for a fee, but good to know beforehand if you should bring anything extra.

Make a financial and scheduling commitment
Some classes are expensive. However, you’re less likely to bail if you’re paying top dollar to reserve a spot and there is a cancellation fee. Purchase a package of classes rather than paying individually. This will encourage you to use your classes, and most gyms offer a discounted rate when you purchase in bulk.

Go at your own pace
Don’t be intimidated if you’re starting something new or have injuries that you need to modify. Everyone is working at their own pace and are there to have fun. There is no need to be self-conscious in a group fitness class, people are typically focused on themselves and their own fitness. Be friendly, respectful, and you might just make a new gym buddy!
