I’ll be the first to admit that simply being active with your children is not enough to get 6 pack abs. But there is no doubt in my mind that being a fun and active family plays a key role in my fat loss success. There has always been a direct correlation between my weight and the amount of physical activity that our family is involved in. I attribute this to the fun factor of fitness.

Here’s a video of a fun and active day that I recently shared with my family. You’ll crack up at the 2:44 mark in the video. You have to watch it to see what I’m talking about

During this family adventure we went on a 1 mile boardwalk, hiked through the forest, rode our bikes for 3 miles, walked along the beach, climbed trees and rocks, and simply had an all around great time.

The active family lifestyle keeps us in great shape, makes fitness fun, and brings us closer as a family. On the flip side if we were not already in great health and physically fit, this trip to Point Pelee National Park would have not been anywhere remotely close to as much fun as it was for us.

When you make your health your #1 priority it allows you to experience life to the fullest. That’s what we all deserve!

I would love to hear from you today. Share with me the family activities that you enjoy doing. How do these experiences impact the way that you approach fitness and fat loss?

Health and fitness are meant to be enjoyed, not a task that you dread. Lets put the fun back in fitness!
