After we discussed how the effect of going to the gym twice a day to the body in the previous post, Today I'm going to talk about three alternative activities you can do with your family. But honestly, let me just show you let's get outside one. The first activity that I recommend is bouldering. It's rock climbing only use five horizontally instead of vertically. You don't need any equipment, you don't need rock climbing shoes, you don't need to pay for gym membership fees.
We don't need advice the only thing that you need is a big folder with good handholds and football to climb on or a nice rock face like we have around our place. But please be aware that don't ever do bouldering alone. Always take a buddy with you and stay safe.
And never climb more than a foot or two off of the ground. Bouldering is a great family activity and that's why it's first on my list of recommendations.
The second activity on my list is disc golf. It's much like regular golf only instead of using golf clubs, you use frisbees. These frisbees I got three for $20 at my local sporting goods store. And they come in all different ranges.
You can use any sort of frisbee even from the dollar store. It doesn't matter all that much. Most communities have disc golf courses. But if yours doesn't just set up hula hoops in the park and it's a great time.
Throw a couple frisbees in your backpack, head to the park, and it's for sure a fun day for your family. The objective is to get the disc in the cage with the fewest rows possible. You can keep track with your friends and keep score and whoever has the least amount of throws wins.
The third activity I want to recommend is geocaching. Geocaching is like an extreme scavenger hunt. You can look up geocaches on your smartphone. There are free apps and people all over the world deposit geocaches and record them for us to find. It makes hiking and getting out in the great outdoors even more fun because you have a goal in mind.
When you find a geocache, they're usually deposited in some sort of waterproof containers like an ammo box, or a plastic bottle of some kind. Inside the geocache, usually, you find a piece of paper and a pencil that you can look towards your name and a date that you were. There may be some toys or little tokens that you can look at that you always return back to the geocache.
Feel free to add to the geocache, but you never take away from it. But this is really really fun activity for your family and that's why it's third on my list of recommendations this spring.
