Stay Active & Have Fun All Year Long

Keeping fit helps you stay healthy, and it can also be a fun, year-round pursuit. Summer activities like swimming, cycling, and basketball are great for building up your cardio and endurance. Backyard games like horseshoes, lawn darts, and ring toss are less strenuous but they’ll still get you moving, and the whole family can join in! Sunny afternoons are ideal for a round of golf or a game of baseball. You should also try to plan some day trips or weekends away from home. A camping trip is a great way to combine work and play, just make sure you’ve got all the camping gear you need in advance. If you’re going to be near water, remember to bring your fishing tackle, and a paddle board or kayak if space allows.

Don’t let Old Man Winter deter your active lifestyle. Tobogganing is still a traditional family favourite, but you can also bring along a snow tube, snow scooter, or snow racer. Fat biking is also a hugely popular winter pastime. You can even install a backyard rink kit, or make your very own backyard rink complete with ice shack. Then breakout the sticks and pucks and invite the neighbourhood kids over for a game of hockey. For days when it’s just too cold to venture outside, do some in-house exercising to stay in shape.
