March/April 2024 HAWAII PARENT 81 Trailblazing Together Enjoy a hike or neighborhood walk where you can get moving, laugh and enjoy one another. Our islands are blessed with some of the best hiking trails. A simple hike can be turned into a memorable nature discovery journey, allowing an excellent workout while introducing your family to our native Hawaiian flora. These activities not only foster respect and sustainability for our natural resources but also provide opportunities for physical fitness. Fitness as Fun Games Who says fitness can’t be fun? Transform fitness into a game to spark interest. If your keiki is missing their sports team, make a game of it to improve a skill. Conduct friendly contests that can be as simple as backyard or living room relays, including sit-ups, push-ups, and wheel-barrel partner races. Encourage your children to invent their games, fueling their creativity and making exercise an enjoyable and varied experience.
