2.  

   Choose Your Exercises: Select a mix of exercises that can focus on muscular and cardiovascular strength:

    

   • Muscular Exercises:

     • Push-Ups: Great for upper body strength.
     • Squats: Perfect for lower body muscular development.
     • Examples: Create a routine of 10 push-ups, 15 squats, and 20 sit-ups.

   • Cardiovascular Exercises:

     • Jumping Jacks: Get the heart pumping.
     • Dancing: A fun way to stay active.
     • Examples: Incorporate a 10-minute dance session or a 15-minute cardio circuit twice a week.

3.  

   Schedule Your Workouts: Establish a regular workout schedule that fits family availability.

   • Encourage all family members to suggest their favorite exercises.
   • Example: The kids want to include a fun spot race.
