Have fun in the sun by including swimming games, outdoor treks, and beach-centered sports:

• Turn your dip in the pool into a fast-paced cardio jam. Swim laps, set up mini-races with friends and family, or initiate tag games. Try water polo, which not only works your heart, but also your arms and legs.

• With quick movements, big jumps, and upper-body actions, a game of volleyball can be extra beneficial — and more exciting — by taking it to the sand.

• It’s no wonder kids love to pedal on 2 wheels. Cycling liberates the senses, strengthens leg muscles, and can be an exhilarating journey across rugged terrain.
