Incorporate a Challenge
If you aim to ramp up your walks' vigor, set a fitness goal for yourself. Consider speed walking
or establish a timed target to boost your pace. If kids accompany you, encourage them to hop
throughout the street or mimic a horse's gallop for part of the journey. Alternatively, invite them
to devise their own fun challenges to add an extra physical activity layer. You can bring a stroller
fan from Diono to keep your children cool while exploring.
Alter Your Walking Route
Your walking routes might be restricted at the moment. However, even reversing your usual
direction can offer a different exercise by climbing that hill rather than descending it. If you can,
vary the terrain of your walks. A dirt path provides more of a challenge compared to a flat
sidewalk. Alternatively, consider driving to an area with more inclines if your regular route is
level.
Go Geocaching
Geocaching is a delightful outdoor scavenger hunt suitable for all family members. Using
specific GPS coordinates, use the Geocaching app to find hidden boxes called 'geocaches'.
Typically, these geocaches hold a logbook for noting the date and time of discovery, along with
a few mini treasures. If you decide to take a treasure, aim to replace it with something of similar
or higher worth for the next player. With over three million geocaches globally, chances are
there's one in your vicinity.
