Cold and dark outside, or just don’t feel like heading to the park? Try these easy and effective exercises inside the comfort of your own home:

  • Dance
  • Play hide-and-go-seek
  • Follow a workout video (If you can, do it with your teens, who may especially enjoy this.)
  • Play Simon Says with exercises
  • Practice Hula-Hooping
  • Jump rope
  • Imitate animals: bear crawl, hop like a bunny, alligator walk, crab walk, jump high like a kangaroo, spin like the Tasmanian devil, run like the roadrunner, fly like a bird flapping its wings, or frog jump (great for younger children)
  • Play duck, duck, goose
  • Dance the hokey-pokey
  • Wheel barrel with a partner
  • Stretch: touch your toes, be a flamingo, have an elephant trunk, pull your elbow behind your head, or circle your arms
  • Make an indoor obstacle course
  • Play musical chairs
  • Practice balance activities: stand on one foot, stand on one toe, or do handstands
  • Have a pillow fight
  • Play tag
