Summer Family Fun

on Tuesday, 09 July 2013. Posted in Doctor of Fitness

Summertime is a great time to be active with your family, but we can easily get bored with the same activities over and over again. Make this summer even more fun by trying some exciting new adventures.

Reach new heights by learning to rock climb. Interesting landscapes across the country challenge climbers to develop their skills and their strength. Experienced guides keep you safe and teach the correct methods. If you can’t stand the heat, look for an indoor climbing gym. There you can tackle climbing walls from beginner to expert without setting foot outdoors.

While ice skating might bring to mind thoughts of Christmastime instead of a hot July summer, indoor ice skating rinks can offer a cool break during the summer months. Look for open skating days to spend just a few hours, or you can sign up for a summer camp. This is a great way to get some exercise, have fun with the family and stay cool at the same time.

Looking for a different water sport to try? Experiment with paddle boarding. Kids and grown-ups alike can learn to paddle board. The paddler stands on a small boat, shaped similar to a surf board, and uses a long paddle to steer the craft across the water. You can paddle on lakes or at beaches. This activity increases both strength and balance.

Summertime might be hot, but you don’t have to just sit inside. Wherever this summer takes you, go out and have fun as a family. Keep fitness and safety in mind and you are sure to have a magnificent summer season.
