In the Race of Life, They Have Each Other
This summer, my children took part in a summer track series competing against other children in various races. Each week, we headed over to the school track where dozens of kids were lined up ready to compete. They would line the sides of the track waiting for their age group to be called, experienced and novice runners alike; while the parents converged in the center of the track, talking and mingling while waiting with anticipation for their child’s group to be called.
Exercise for a Treadmill
A treadmill can be a valuable piece of exercise equipment that you can use with a combination of exercises. You can work on your cadence–especially if you are running in front of a mirror–you can have a hill workout, or you can do some interval work. Everyone from novices up to experienced runners can receive benefits from exercising on a treadmill.
Fun Games for Kids at Picnics
Summertime brings plenty of opportunities for picnics. You may hold a small picnic in your backyard for a few family members and friends, or you may end up attending a large picnic gathering for your church, place of work or other organization. More likely than not, the bigger the picnic, the bigger the number of children in attendance. Help the picnic organizers plan plenty of activities and games for children of all ages.
Top-Ranked Treadmills
Treadmills are among the most popular at-home exercise machines, according to the Mayo Clinic. As a busy mom, you may prefer using a treadmill at home than venturing out to a crowded gym. Whether you walk, jog or run on your new treadmill, you can enjoy a number of potential benefits, including lowered cholesterol and blood pressure, reduced risk of developing diabetes and, of course, weight loss or weight control.
How Fast Should I Walk on a Treadmill?
Treadmills are a convenient, low-impact and easy-to-use workout option, suitable for both beginners and those with a more intense fitness routine. While walking routines on a treadmill are suitable for all fitness levels, faster walking can produce a more strenuous cardiovascular workout. Try slow and gentle walks, brisk power walking or interval training on the treadmill.
