Why I Recommend Family Time Fitness

- Homeschools

- Schools
- Families
- Youth Sports
After raising two children who became elite athletes, I truly realized the value of daily exercise for healthy habits as children and later on as adults. I’ve been happily surprised to see how committed my now-adult children are to their health and physical fitness after athletic training and having healthy habits throughout childhood.
I didn’t plan for my kids to be athletes. I homeschooled Will and Christina through high school, but I didn’t even have a good program for their physical education in the beginning. I wasn’t an athlete growing up, so physical education was our weakest subject. If Family Time Fitness would have been available back then, I definitely would have used it. Since we didn’t have a good physical education program, physical education was hit-or-miss in the early years of our homeschooling. We did some stunts and tumbling (my favorite athletic activities) and introduced various sports (thanks to my husband, who was an athlete), but Will wasn’t very interested. We just assumed he wasn’t an athlete.
When Will was introduced to skiing through Cub Scouts just before turning 8, we discovered he was a natural and had an amazing sense of balance. Later on, we discovered that foot sports in particular were his specialty. Even though he had a late start, Will went on to become an international competitor in pairs figure skating. Christina loved dance and almost every sport from the beginning, so for her it was just a matter of following her interests to find the best sport for her.
A program like Family Time Fitness would have given Will a solid foundation and regular physical fitness from the beginning. It would also have helped us identify his strengths and interests much sooner.
Family Time Fitness Core and Platinum Curriculum Programs
The Family Time Fitness programs are designed for ages 5-13, although there are many activities that could be used with younger and older children. Next Wednesday, I’ll publish a post at Living Montessori Now with some Montessori-inspired activities for using Family Time Fitness with preschoolers.
The Family Time Fitness materials are easily downloadable and can be used on a computer, tablet, or smart phone. My preference would be to have the materials on a tablet for easy accessibility indoors or outdoors. If you don’t have an easy way to take the online materials outdoors, there’s a one-page summary for each lesson you can print out and take outdoors with you.
I love that the lessons are simple and unintimidating for parents without an athletic background. Each lesson has a description of the activity and a short video demonstrating the activity. The equipment needed is inexpensive and easily purchased, such as hula hoops, jump ropes, bean bags, playground balls, cones, measuring tape and a stop watch.
If you can’t do some of the activities outdoors, you can even do them indoors in a rec room or your living room. I really appreciate that the activities are designed for use with multiple ages and are fun ways to develop gross-motor skills and get exercise at the same time. This really is a program any family can do.

- 260 different workouts

We have always been pretty active as a family, but with one of our kids joining gymnastics, we’ve realized that we’ve never really focused on fitness. Our kids are interested in exercising and staying fit, but I don’t know where to start. This program would be great for our family!
I would love to use this as part of our curriculum.
family fitness has family and school programs!
This is very good of you. Kudos.
I have been looking into this for children.
Just want to teach a better way of family living. Plus, I’m fat!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am a homeschooling mom who wants to incorporate more activity into my son’s life, but so many activities require several people or products. And I need to make it interesting without having to do a lot of planning so we are more able to stick with it. My son hates “exercising.” But he likes doing activities.
My kids are still quite young (3 and 5) and love being active, but it’s so hard to be consistent about incorporating physical activity into our day. Some days feel so sluggish and I don’t have any fresh ideas for what to do.
This would be great for the kids in our co-op! Weather in Missouri is unpredictable, so we try to incorporate some kind of class for the youngest children to keep them moving at least one hour each semester. I am starting to run low on ideas and could use something fresh.
Sadly I allow my children to watch too much TV. This would help us spend more time being active.
Like you, physical education is NOT my strong point. With two boys, I know I’ll need some help in this area! So this would be a wonderful resource for our journey through homeschooling.
As a family with 4 homeschooling children, a pick up and go PE program would be awesome addition to our homeschool day.
Homeschooling boys can be challenging but with a pick up and go PE program! That would make it all the more fun during breaks!
I want the Family Time Fitness Program to give to my sister who home-schools. I think she would really like it.
I would like my family to do more together and continue to live healthy lives and show other families that fitness can be fun.
It would benefit my family because we would be spending more time together and I may loose some extra pounds I’ve been carrying around.
my close friend homeschools his son- great idea
I just came across your article on Pinterest about reducing sibling rivalry. That let me to this. The Family Time Fitness Program would be awesome!
Hello there,
Here i would like to say that,
Our kids are interested in exercising and staying fit, but I don’t know where to start. This program would be great for our family!
