Everyone loves to move...to wiggle...
But who knew it was such a workout!!! So as I reflected on the simple pleasures of my childhood bike riding, the game of "tickle", and DANCE PARTIES!!!!! I'm always a fan of multitasking every step of the way, so why not combine a 30 minute cardio workout with that precious time with your kids, which as a working momma, I'm always looking to get more of.
Spotify or Apple Radio are perfect and quick solutions to making a quick play list of your favorite songs that "get your family movin - movin"! I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old who are learning about keeping beat, and isolating each and every body part and doing the shake/shimmy/twist...or whatever you want to call it!
Yes this is a great activity for parents to burn a few extra calories before dinner, but we need to remember that our kids aren't moving as much as they did a generation ago. Michelle Obama made childhood obesity a 'real thing' a few years back, and we need to take note. The CDC recently posted a look at the USA which shows how poor we are doing as a country in keeping our next generation moving! So ladies and gents....let's download that playlist...and get them shaking, shimmering and laughing just a little more:)

Here is a quick peak in to my playlist! My challenge to you is to get a quick (clean) playlist of 10 songs, play with your kiddos and get them to show off those 'awesome moves'. You might burn more calories laughing as a family than you will trying to recall those cool hip-hop moves from high school...but when you go to bed at night, you will smile. And friends, that is what it is all about:)
