Get Your Energy Out with These Fun Fitness Videos for the Whole Family

Giselle · May 4, 2020 ·

fun fitness videos for families

If you’re looking for ways to get your heart rate up and get your pent-up energy out, you’re not alone! Today, I thought I’d share some resources that my daughter and I have been trying out to get the wiggles out in a fun, engaging way.

Now that we know we’ll be in distance learning for the long haul, we’ve been looking for programs that we enjoy that also offer multiple videos.

Below, you’ll find some of our favorite warmups, workouts, and dance videos.

3 Ideas for PE Class at Home:

Whether you live in an apartment in the city, if you’re in lockdown, or if the weather is keeping you indoors, check out these YouTube videos to get moving and having fun.

1. Warmups

If you’re looking for quick 2-5 minute brain breaks that are fun and engaging, definitely check out GoNoodle.com. You can sign up for a free account and get access to loads of fun kid-friendly videos. (We still sing the “Pop See Ko” song that they used to play in her Kindergarten class – a cute dance to check out with your little ones.) 

One of our favorite videos on GoNoodle is from Fresh Start Fitness. They also have 9 free videos on YouTube – the videos are quick, fun, and get your heart pumping!

Here’s a Pump It Up video from Fresh Start Fitness:

2. Workouts

After doing our distance learning, my daughter and I have been trying some workout videos on YouTube that are about 20-30 minutes long. We often search YouTube for “HIIT” videos (high intensity interval training) or “Abs workout”:

  • The Body Coach TV channel has daily “PE with Joe” 20-minute classes
  • PopSugar Fitness channel has a “Family Fun Cardio Workout” video
  • Fitness Blender channel has loads of workout videos, and their website has an awesome filter feature
  • Bowflex channel has some good ab workout videos
  • Little Sports channel has a variety of animated videos
  • PE Teacher, Mike Ginicola, has several “Would You Rather” fitness videos that gives you a choice of exercises

Here’s a Kids HIIT workout by Moe Jones:

3. Dance

For a more creative workout, we’ve also been doing some dance videos! 

The Kidz Bop channel on YouTube is doing “Daily Dance Break” 1-hour videos. They also have loads of dance videos of popular kids songs. 

The Just Dance channel is another option on YouTube with a few dance videos. We enjoyed the dance video to Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) by Shakira.

Here’s a Kidz Bop warmup dance video:

Welcome

Giselle Shardlow Profile Image Welcome to Kids Yoga Stories. To create the yoga books, yoga and breathing card decks, and yoga and mindfulness classroom resources, I draw from my experience as an international teacher, a world traveler, a certified yoga teacher, and a mom to a spirited child. I’ve been practicing yoga practically my whole life, and after I became a mom, I fell in love with the idea of sharing yoga and mindfulness with my daughter. Read more.
