Physical Fitness Bingo
Physical Fitness Bingo
As simple to play as the original version. A line down, up, across, or diagonal wins (middle square is a freebie), but this game comes with a little twist: each box includes a specific workout move that has to be completed in order to cover that square. You will need at least two people to play, and one person should be designated BINGO caller and checker.
This is a fun game for anyone to play, and it is great because it can be played anywhere. On this post, there are four different boards that can be used for a game. Make it a challenge in your house, or something to get you up and out of your seats.
Here, we're playing for rice crispy treats, and who gets to choose what's for dinner tonight. Happy playing!
Yoga
Yoga
We all love weekly wind-down, so today we're talking about YOGA.
Here is a quick chart of some yoga poses that can be done right from the comfort of your own home. Yoga is a great activity to promote stretching and meditating (good for the body and the mind!)
Try to work on your four count breathing while practicing the poses for an added challenge! (four second inhale - hold four seconds - four second exhale - repeat)
Below is a link to even more beginner yoga poses - how many can you get through?
Happy posing!
Balloon Volleyball
Balloon Volleyball
For today's activity, we want to get up and get moving outside (although, it is totally acceptable to play this one inside as well).
Balloon volleyball is a crowd favorite, gets your blood pumping, stretches your muscles, and you can play it with any number of people.
Set up your volleyball "net" by setting up a line of chairs, or string, or just about anything (you can use your creativity there, just so there is something visible dividing your two "courts")
Blow up a few balloons - so you have some on reserve in case of accidental popping - pick your teams, and you are ready to go.
You can make it into a family exhibition match, and create rules to make it more difficult. Play a round sitting down, on your hands and knees, only using one arm/foot etc.
May the wind be ever in your favor!
Streamer Obstacle Course
Streamer Obstacle Course
This is a great family game. Easy to set up, easy to clean up - a parents dream!
All you need is a roll of party streamers and tape that is safe to stick to the wall.
Arrange the streamers in an obstacle course fashion - straight from a spy movie.
You can make it into a competition of "who can make it through without breaking or un-sticking any streamers"
This is an activity that will get your heart rate up, as well as working on your flexibility!
How difficult can you make your obstacle course?
Deck of Cards Workout
Deck of Cards Workout
You will need a classic deck of cards and some space to complete this activity.
The rules are simple:
Each suit represents a specific move:
Clubs - jumping jacks
Hearts - crunches
Spades - jog-in-place
Diamonds - high knees (1 rep = both knees lifted)
Each number represents the reps/how long you perform each move.
So, for example, if you pulled a 7 of spades, you would jog-in-place for 7 seconds. If you pulled a queen of clubs, you would do 12 jumping jacks, and so on. (Jack = 11; Queen = 12; King = 13; Ace = 14).
You can switch out the moves to ones "suit" you better - ha, get it?
