I have been trying to find something active that my son and I can do together for several years without much luck. We used to xc ski a bit together during the winter, but I think I was only able to get him out once last year. They've started a new unit in PE class this quarter working out in the fitness room, with exercise machines and weights, and surprisingly, he really seems to dig it! So I'm thinking about buying a gym membership for the two of us. He'll be 12 next week, which seems a bit young for the gym, but I dunno. I just want to do SOMETHING physical with him that he enjoys and isn't a huge whinefest for us!!
