An obstacle you CAN overcome!!

Posted by: Tracy  :  in topic: On the Field

 Boot camps are all the rage in workouts right now, so why not copy that concept for your family?  Pull out whatever old ‘equipment’ (and I use that term loosely!) you can find in the garage and set up an informal obstacle course for you and the fam!  Jump ropes, ladders, hula hoops, swings, tires, cones and balls are all example of things most of us have lying around that could make a great course!  Show your  whole team how to do the course.  For example, you could run around the house, swing on your old swingset, jump rope 20 times, do 20 jumping jacks, run through a ladder lying flat on the ground, pitch 5 balls into a bucket or net and finish with a leap into a leaf pile.  Use your imagination, or ask for help from the troops.  Take turns timing each other, and have fun!  Don’t be afraid to get a little goofy and laugh at yourself.  It’s a fun way to get your whole team in the game on a sunny fall afternoon!
