On the road to family fitness, you’re sure to encounter times that are so tender they’ll move you to tears and others that make you laugh out loud. Hopefully, reading this list will help you remember similar times in your family, and maybe you’ll even find some ideas for your next outing or family reunion. All of these are a reminder to celebrate any small accomplishment as if it were your own family fitness bowl game!
- Beating your son at one-on-one (even if he spotted you six)
- Coming in last at the family’s annual three-legged race and egg toss
- Videotaping your husband as he belly-flops into the hotel pool
- Seeing your daughter spike the volleyball through her big brother’s outstretched arms
- Bowling a solid 67 when your six-year-old pulled off a 156 (with three strikes)
- Taking the picture of everyone on top of a mountain they just complained about having to climb
- Breaking into your “I’m-the-woman” homerun trot after smacking the ball over deep left center at your son’s little league field.
- Discovering you didn’t really lose as much power on your first serve as you had thought
- Exercising your right to buy one of those big, cushy bicycle seats
- Enjoying breakfast with your daughter after the 5k charity run/walk (she ran; you walked)
