EditSteps

  1. 1
    Choose a time for your fitness routine. Pick a time over the weekend when the whole family is home, or try to squeeze in a short workout in the evenings after school or work. Make sure your whole family is available for these regular fitness sessions.
    • In order to get the most out of your family fitness program, you should work out regularly, at least once a week.

  2. 2
    Plan your fitness routines. Read some fitness training tips and find fun exercises for the whole family. Especially at first, put the focus on fun exercises and games that get you moving, rather than intense physical exercise that won't be as much fun.
    • Incorporate sports and other games into your routine as much as possible.
  3. 3
    Plan a diet to go with your family fitness plans. Choose delicious and healthy foods for your family for before and after your exercises. Eating healthily will help your family get the most out of your fitness regimen.
  4. 4
    Educate your family about fitness. Make sure your family understands why you're adopting a fitness program, and how it will help them in their daily lives. Help your children understand the importance of regular exercise from a young age. Emphasize the importance of having a balanced body and mind.
  5. 5
    Let your family members help shape your fitness routine. Encourage your children to research and prepare a routine for the family. This will allow family members to be productive and take ownership of their own health. They should pick exercises that they enjoy to make the fitness routine more fun for everyone.
