Great Family Work Out You CanDO with Your Kids...

Luann Abrams

March 12, 2010 by Joe Gigantino


We’ve all had those days when there is simply too much going on to get in that workout you know you need. You have barely seen your family except to pass them as you are rushing out the door, and you feel too guilty to run off to the gym. Here is the perfect solution: a great full body workout plus playtime with your kids. Try it the next time life gets too hectic!

Here’s Luann’s choice for one of her best family workouts. Luann Abrams is an ACE certified personal trainer who focuses on family fitness. She trains clients and teaches family fitness classes in her community. You can always find fun family fitness ideas at her blog, Training For Fun or follow her on Twitter at @Trainforfun.

Family Workout Routine:

Find a place to run in your house–a hallway works great. If the weather is nice take it outside in your yard or on the sidewalk. Run back and forth chasing each other (for the little kids) or timing each other (for the older kids) while incorporating the following sports conditioning moves:

High Knees – Stand straight and lift your knees up to hip-level as you run.

Butt Kicks – Hit your butt with your heels as you run. Land softly on the balls of your feet.

Jump Skip – Jump and drive your bent knee straight up as you skip forward, exaggerating your natural arm movements.

Walking Lunges – Step forward with your first leg landing heel first. Lower body by bending both knees until back knee nearly touches the floor. Lift yourself up using both legs and step forward and repeat with the opposite leg.

Ski jumps – Jump along an imaginary line down the middle of your course. Starting on one side with knees slightly bent and feet angled at about 45 degrees toward the line, jump over the line turning so knees and toes are at a 45 degree angle toward the line on the other side. Jump to one end and then repeat jumping backwards to the other end of your course.

Jumps – Just jump! Remember to land softly, which means you have to use your muscles to slow the momentum of your lowering body and not lockout your knees. Add an obstacle, or several, that you have to jump over.

Stairs – If you have stairs, you have a built-in workout machine. Running up and down the stairs two-at-a-time, sideways, and backwards is a phenomenal workout. Carry a weight (or your kid!) to really amp up your calorie burn. You may want to skip this with younger kids until they are sure-footed.

Drop and Give Me – At either end of your course, have a mat or towel where you perform a different exercise such as push-ups, crunches, or tricep dips, each time through.

Feel free to leave comments or ask me questions. Have a great workout and next time you need to squeeze in a workout into your busy week, don’t forget to include your best workout buddy’s – your family!

Taking up the Exercise Challenge

Sometimes you have to push yourself if you want a change to come. Being on Holiday a couple of weeks ago in Lanzarote helped to kick start my keep fit routine and my quest to get back into shape after the Christmas Holidays and all the festive eating. Here is a picture of me, taken yesterday the 6th of March down at WIllesdent Sports Centre, now the weather was 'fresh' but LFGC member Lorna met up with me and we went jogging, power walking and more. By the end of this I felt good, and had lots of energy for the rest of the day.

I love the outdoors, and being in the UK in the cold and grey, snow and rainy weather is not very inspiring to anyone who wishes to get back into an exercise routine. Now some of you are gym goers, but being inside working away on a machine is not for me, it is an artificial environment and un-inspiring or me personally.

Finding something you enjoy such can be far better for you if it is done consistently such as line dancing, salsa, tae kwando, pole dancing, horse riding etc.

My challenge to you all is to find something that inspires you,something you like to do and something which you would consistently be able to do which helps your heart to race.

Let me know what it is you like to do and let me know how you get on...

Negative Calorie Foods are they for real???

The quote below came from the Negative Calorie Foods Site:

"All foods have some calories. No food is actually "negative calorie" food. BUT the overall effect of certain foods in our body is that of "negative calories". Negative calorie foods are foods, which use more calories to digest than the calories the foods actually contain!

Calories from these foods are much harder for the body to breakdown and process. In other words, the body has to work harder in order to extract calories from these foods. This gives these foods a tremendous natural fat-burning advantage.

A piece of dessert consisting of 400 calories may require only 150 calories to be digested by our body, resulting in a net gain of 250 calories which is added to our body fat! According to this theory, for example, if you eat 100 calories of a food that requires 150 calories to digest, then you've burnt an additional 50 calories simply by eating that food."

Is this possible? Can a food actually have not only no calories, but even negative calories? And, if it is possible what effect would ingesting negative calories really have? Could you literally eat your way to fat loss...the more you eat the more you lose?

And, on the down side would the ingestion of “negative calories” potentially offset your “positive calorie” energy reserves, canceling out the effectiveness of your bodybuilding training? Because, as we all know we need calories to manufacture energy both for exercise and for recovering from exercise.
