Family Fitness for Kids is Easy with a Bounce House!
Let’s be honest, guys: getting your kids to commit to exercise is a challenge, for most of us anyway. To avoid the huffs and the puffs, you pretty much need to dupe children into exercise by convincing them a healthy activity is fun. Bike riding, jumping rope, hide and seek … these tried and true fitness games for kids and activities get the job done. And best of all, your child is having loavds of fun in the process.
We all know how fun a bounce house can be. But you may not realize your children are reaping the benefits of plyometric exercise while jumping and bouncing around in them. A bounce house lets your kids increase their heart rate and benefit from plyometric training while also enjoying some family fun.
If you own a bounce house or are considering buying one, here’s some family fun and fitness ideas that are easy and safe for children to try, and can help your kids bounce with purpose. These games offer fun family fitness challenges while providing kids with a great plyometrics workout. And as physical activity goes, your kids will likely enjoy this a whole lot more than most other forms of exercise.
Before we list our fun fitness games for kids, we first want to state that children should ALWAYS be monitored while using bounce houses, inflatable water slides, inflatable obstacle courses, and other large inflatables. Bounce houses aren’t designed for exercise, so please consider carefully whether your children can handle one of these exercises before having them try them. Every kid is different, and it’s okay if some children can’t do these exercises. Oh, and don’t forget to stretch, too!
