School is back in session and you may find yourself shuttling kids to and from practices and cheering them on at sporting events. While it's always fun to be your child's number one fan, don't sit on the sidelines all season!
Instead of playing spectator all season, why not get in on the action by playing your favorite sports with friends and family? It's a perfect way to enjoy the fall weather, bond with your kids and have fun with your friends.
Here are a few ways to get back in the game:
Football: Lose the pads and helmets and opt for flags. If you find that your perfect spiral is a bit off, switch it up and play ultimate Frisbee. Like football, ultimate Frisbee still requires running and passing to keep you active throughout the game.
Tennis: It's not too hard to find a tennis court, whether it's at the local gym or park. So, grab your racquet and take advantage! If your hand-eye coordination isn't what it used to be, grab a bigger ball and use the court to play four square.
Volleyball: Playing volleyball requires jumping and squatting, making it the perfect workout for your thighs and calves. If you can't find a net, grab a partner and bump the ball back and forth.
Cross-Country: Take a break from the traditional long-distance run and incorporate some games to make it a group effort. Add sprint intervals or check-in points to add to the fun (and the workout).
Soccer: For this game, you need a soccer ball and some energy. If you're not up for a true soccer match, consider a fun game of kickball.
