Hide and Seek

Go back to the classic indoor/outdoor hide and seek. The workout isn’t intense, but it gets you running and walking around a yard or home in hopes of finding the most challenging hiding spot. Played outside, you get fresh air and time in the sun.

 

Just Dance 2020

You need a gaming system to play this game. If you have one, it’s designed to get you moving. Follow along with the virtual dancers on the screen and score points when you’re close or perfect the dance moves. Get a workout while trying to get the top score.

 

Moving Out

If you have a Nintendo Switch, Moving Out is a unique game to help with arm exercises. Team up and empty the items in your virtual house into the moving truck. The physics in this game creates unexpected challenges and laughs.

 

Pokemon Go

While Pokemon Go wasn’t designed for fitness, it gets people outside the house and exploring. The goal was to walk around different areas, find Pokemon, and capture them in your Pokeballs. Some people cheated and drove around in cars, but your kids and parents could play the correct way and get plenty of exercise. You just need the app on your phone and sidewalks and parks to explore.

 

Ring Fit Adventure

Ring Fit Adventure is a must-have for a whole body workout. The adventure mode has you battling monsters, completing quests, and working out every inch of your body through a series of activities. The strap on the legs and ring in your hands tracks movements of the legs and arms. You need a Nintendo Switch for this game.

 

Wii Sports

This game was one of the leaders in getting gamers up and moving. Play baseball by using the controller as the baseball bat. Body movements also get tracked in games like golf, bowling, and tennis. On a rainy day, it’s a great way to get the family moving around while having fun. You need a Wii for it.

 

When you aren’t available to make sure your parents are staying active, hire senior care services. Caregivers can cheer them on with recommended exercises for muscle tone, balance, and bone strength. The activity also helps relieve stress and improve cardio. Talk to a senior care agency to make arrangements.
