Father's Day Activities for the Whole Family!
Hiking
If you are looking to expand your horizons (literally!) hiking is the perfect activity that the whole family can do together.
You can explore nearby trails while building aerobic fitness along with lower body and core strength as you hike up and down hills.
This is also a great way to improve balance and coordination on more technical trails.
Plus, getting outdoors allows your kids to experience nature and get away from their phones and computers.
Hiking has also been shown to have mental health benefits.
Studies on the Appalachian Trail have shown that hiking increases quality of life, enjoyment of life, and relationships with others.
What better way to spend Father’s Day?
Bike Riding
Bike riding will give you a killer cardio and leg workout all in one.
You will also get a great core workout as you will engage your abs and low back muscles to keep yourself balanced.
Plus, bike riding is a great way to improve your kids' balance and mobility.
Find some parks with bike trails or designated bike lanes in your area to ensure that you are keeping the family safe from traffic during your ride.

Golf
If your kids are old enough, taking them out for a round of golf is another fun Father’s Day activity.
Since golf isn’t a big aerobic sport, most people forget that it requires quite a bit of athletic ability and strength.
Developing a proper golf swing means having a strong core, glutes, and upper body as you work these muscles with every swing.
Ditch the golf cart and walk the course to get in some added cardio as well.
The slow nature of the game is also a great way to have quality conversations with your family.
Basketball
Shooting hoops with the family in the driveway is a convenient and fun way to spend Father’s Day.
You can play some one-on-one or split up into teams if you have enough people.
A competitive hoops match will get your heart pumping while giving you a full-body workout.
And when you're playing a game it doesn't even feel like exercise!
Tennis
Grab some rackets and head out to the tennis courts for an excellent aerobic workout.
Not only is this amazing cardio, but you will need excellent core strength and agility.
A (friendly) competitive tennis match with your wife and kids will have you racing across the courts nonstop giving your a great aerobic workout.
Rock Climbing
While you probably don’t have a mountain in your backyard, there are gyms that offer rock climbing walls as a fun form of exercise.
If you want to build some insane upper body strength, then you should give rock climbing a try.
Many venues have introductory courses or will at least walk you through the steps of harnessing yourself in and rappelling.
Start with some of the easier walls and work your way up.
Your kids will also love this different twist on fitness.
After age 30, your Testosterone levels start declining. Add in some stress and a “less than perfect” diet… everything gets worse fast. You feel tired all the time. It’s hard to lose fat. It feels like you lost your edge. That’s the sad story that happens to most guys 40+. But now, it doesn’t have to be that way for you….

Kayaking/Canoeing
If you live by a lake, river, or even the ocean, kayaking is an awesome family activity.
This heart-pumping sport is great to build muscles in the arms, back, and chest while simultaneously giving you a great cardiovascular workout.
And getting out in the open water is a fun way to explore a different part of the outdoors.
Whether in a lake or the ocean, spending time with your family in nature while also getting in shape is an unbeatable combination.
Paddleboarding
Paddleboarding is another fun water sport that is an all-over body workout.
Forcing yourself to balance as you paddle through the water challenges your core muscles while building strength in the upper and lower body.
Paddleboarding is a unique and enjoyable activity that has been shown to improve aerobic and anaerobic fitness, while also building core strength.
Not only that, but paddleboarding has also been found to have psychological benefits and can enhance quality of life!
Swimming
All kids love swimming, and this is a great way for dads to stay in shape too.
Try to find a nearby beach or pool to get some laps in this Father’s Day.
Swimming is an amazing cardiovascular workout, and also builds upper body and core strength.
Another benefit of a day full of swimming?
Your kids will be so exhausted by a day of physical activity they'll be ready for bed, leaving you some much-needed dad time at the end of the day!
Relay Races/Obstacle Course
You can set up your own races or obstacle courses in the backyard and challenge the family to some fun competition.
This is a great way to get your kids involved in designing the course as well, and gives you more time to spend together.
Use whatever you have in the backyard, like tree branches, a swing set, monkey bars, or even tires or cones from the garage to make the ultimate course.
To give your kids even more incentive you can even make small homemade awards for the winners.

Family Friendly Fitness Competitions
Along the same lines as an obstacle course competition, you can even have your own fitness competition.
Design a circuit workout with your family and try to see who can perform the most reps during each exercise.
Sort of like a family AMRAP workout!
You can make different circuit areas for push-ups, lunges, squats, jump rope, or a number of different exercises.
Keep track of the reps for each minute and push each other to try to best one another.
This is a fun workout that will add some great cardio to your day.
Plus, the different movements will encourage balance, stability, and give you an awesome core workout as well.
