Card Family Fitness

🃑 CARD FAMILY FITNESS 🂭

Directions:  Get a set of playing cards (if you don’t have a set, have the kids make them!  You can use these in a variety of ways.  

1. You can use the entire deck and set a timer for 5 minutes (or longer), choosing cards and performing the exercise with GOOD FORM as quick as you can!  However, you may be challenged to do 16 burpees in a row if all four Kings are picked! ☺ WHOOHOO!
2. You can organize your stack by only pulling out one of each card, shuffle them, and go through the entire deck allowing each family member to choose a card performing ALL the exercises.
3. OR you can use this as a great ‘BRAIN BREAK’ if you feel your kids are needing some time away from their studies.  Have the stack of cards nearby with the key. Have them choose a few cards to get their bodies moving & minds stimulated before sitting back down to continue their work.
