THE PLAY-IN-THE-DRIVEWAY WORKOUT
The weather is breaking and spring is here! The boys are on their bikes and the girls are drawing
their hopscotch boards, so why not join them—and get your exercise on while you’re at it?
Begin by warming up with the kids. Do a lap around the yard with them or play a game of hopscotch.
Next, grab a jump rope and get ready to move it, move it! Jumping rope is one of the best exercises you can do—and it’s cheap. This full-body, heart-rate-raising routine is a fun way to get your daily workout in and still hang with the kids. Bonus: The quick bursts of cardio boost your metabolism—and your butt.
