Fun Family Activities Can Include Cycling

I know that parents only want the best for
their children. Helping your children to maintain an appropriate weight is
something that can be done as a family unit. I love cycling as it does not feel
as if I am exercising, more like I am cruising around! Kids love to have fun and this is a great way
to get all the exercise they need for one day and have fun at the same time.
It is not difficult to start cycling.
Purchase an inexpensive but good quality bike, a helmet, and some luminous
jackets and there you have it! Cycling with the children is excellent for
parents as it is a perfect stress-free way to spend time with the kids. If you
are not confident on the main roads, just start by cycling in the park. Indeed,
you don’t need to cycle far. Just go around the block or a park. Start with
small rides and then build up slowly. Make sure bikes are well maintained and
serviced before use and teach kids some of the basic road traffic signs. No
point in trying to do a Tour de France, children will just become frustrated
and probably revert to nesting at home.
It is amazing how quickly the body can adapt to a new exercise regime and cycling for exercise is the same as any other exercise regime. Once the family gets into it and use to the movement and
bumps in the road, it will become easier and they will grow stronger and build
up their endurance and ability. Once everyone is stronger and has more
resilience, then it is time to explore further afield and to plan days out
which will include cycling.
So, yes, cycling is exercise but it
quickly becomes an activity that can be full of enjoyment and laughter, and who
does not want to see their children and family laugh and smile together?
