Easy Movement Resolutions for Raising Amazing Girls
january 4TH, 2021
2021 is officially here, and we've been thinking about the small things we can do to restore girls and help them be even more amazing. January is usually the month of new gym memberships and lofty fitness goals. Even though Covid restrictions might make heading to the gym trickier this year, it's still possible to get your blood pumping. And why not involve the girls in your life in your plans?
From hiking and running to snowshoeing and skiing, there are a lot of fun ways to be active as a family. We find that sports and being outside can be very empowering for girls, so scroll down for a few of our favorite easy movement resolutions for 2021.
Train For a 5K
We love the idea of setting a running goal for the family, like training for a 5K. The popular app, C25K Trainer takes a lot of the stress out of training, with a training program you can do as a family for 30 minutes a day, 3 days a week. After 8 weeks you'll be ready to run a 5K together. The best part is there's no gym required—just sneakers and a safe road or trail to run on. (Apple / Google Play)
Set a Hiking Goal
If running isn't your thing, check out these tips for taking girls hiking. Again, we love the idea of setting a goal and working toward it as a family. This might be a weekly mileage goal (ex: 10 mi a week), or big hike that you build towards.
Try a Snow Sport
If it's too cold in your area for running and hiking, consider trying a snow sport. There are many to choose from, but we love the simplicity of snowshoeing. It requires minimal gear and allows you to relax and explore, generally with less risk than skiing or snowboarding. Check out our outdoor adventure guide for more ideas.
We hope you have an active and healthy 2021!
