Feel Good Exercises

Exercise is great for our health and well-being.  Here are some exercises that we want you to have a go at completing this week.  Perhaps you could send in some videos of you doing them so that we can share them with your friends.

Races: 

Get creative with different types of races. You can have a three-legged race, a one-legged race, a crab walk race, etc.

Also, let’s not forget the classic race of deciding on a finish point that’s a bit far off and any route can be used to get there to see who wins. Jump rope (skipping rope) races are great, too, as it’s maximum leg exercise combined with a cardio workout!

Obstacle course:

It’s an exciting way to exercise!

Use some furniture, and also some chalk to draw out a course ranging from the inside of your house to the garden. Add challenges to the course. You can add a puzzle to be solved, a vast area to be crossed without touching the ground, etc.

Pop, pop, pop!

Inspired by some simple birthday games, all you have to do for this is blow some bubbles out in your garden and ask your children to run around popping all of them.

Another variation of this game is don’t let the balloon touch the ground (without holding it for more than a second at a time, of course.
