It goes without saying that we are in a very stressful time. The number one way that I deal with stress is through exercising. My kids see me doing it everyday, and little by little, they’ve wanted to join in on the fun. I’ve also noticed it’s helped ease some of their anxiety as well.
As we go through these next few months spending a lot of time indoors and a lot of it with the unknown ahead of us, I wanted to share some of my favorite kid-friendly workouts (they are really all kid-friendly, but these are the ones my kids have done and love) from obé fitness, my absolute favorite fitness app that has both live and over 4,000 replay classes. If you and your kids love being active, then you’ll love obé. All three kids are obésessed. Harlan has taken both of my obé sweatshirts so she can wear them to school, they’ve gotten to know each instructor through these classes, and best of all, they’ve even gotten a chance to step inside the box. obé is much more than just a fitness app, it’s a community where all are welcome. Yes, even your kids.
So here’s the list! I’ve broken them down by category and tried to put somewhat of a description with it. This is will an on-going list and updated as much as I can. So if you have a favorite, make sure to reach on on IG @laurenjimeson and I’ll add it! 🙂
Dance Cardio: These classes require no equipment and are a fun way to get you heart rate up. Some of the instructors put choreography in their dance classes, while others just get down and give you their best dance moves to get active, either way, they are so much fun and really exciting for kids.
