If you are missing your gym and also looking to get the kids in your life up and moving, an online family fitness class may be just what you need.

Many of us have spent an excessive amount of time sitting inside in recent months due to the pandemic. Studies show that prolonged sitting is linked to health risks including high blood pressure and heart disease. Even a small amount of exercise provides important health benefits, and it also improves our mood and relieves stress. Moving around is especially important for kids. With schools shuttered and camps closed, children haven’t gotten their usual P.E. classes and outside playtime. The current federal physical activity guidelines recommend that children and teenagers exercise for at least 60 minutes each day. Preschoolers between the ages of three to five should be up and moving throughout the day, for about three hours or more.

To help you and the young people in your life get moving, we have rounded up some of the best online fitness videos that families can do together at home. These eight classes are fun, free, and suitable for all fitness levels.
