Here are some fun, healthy ways to do high-intensity interval training. These are intense, quick-burst activities that you can do with your kids.
- Pillow fights
- NERF gun battles
- Paintball battles
- Chases in the park
- Tag
- Tickle wars
- Races for rewards
- Frisbee
- Basketball
- Jumping on a trampoline
- Swimming pool and water games
- Sharks and minnows (in the pool or on land)
If your children are older or want more of a challenge, try a Tabata workout. Tabatas are typically done where each individual exercise is done for twenty seconds with a ten-second rest, repeating this a total of eight times over four minutes. Try the one below for an intense sweat session:
- Run in place
- Push-ups
- Squats
- Sit-ups
- Lunges
- Jumping jacks
