Organize a Family and Friends Outing
Round up some of your family and friends and get together for a game such as Ultimate Frisbee. A competitive sport for all ages and levels, Ultimate Frisbee is a socially interactive game that provides a great full-body workout.
The U.S Department of Health recommends that adults get at least 150 minutes (2.5 hours) of moderate aerobic exercise per week. It recommends that children get 60 or more minutes per day. Outdoor sports and activities are a great way to meet those marks without having to force your way through a workout.

Reward Yourselves to Stay Motivated
Use each other as support, encourage each other to stay committed and consistent, and stay away from the excuses. Cheer each other on through challenges and try new activities to mix things up. Most importantly, celebrate your successes. Whether it's a couples massage or a family movie night, treat yourself and your loved ones when you accomplish your health goals.
