Stretching is what we do before we exercise. Warming-up gets our body ready and “warmed up” so that we are ready to play sports. Stretching makes sure that we don’t hurt any of our mus-cles while we are exercising.

Dancing is super fun way to stay active. Plug in your favorite music and let your body do the rest! You can do some classic moves like Disco or do some creative hip hop break dancing. You can even do line dances, which are dances that everyone can do together. Just find some music that gets you rocking, and start moving!

Brain Breaks are an awesome way to stay active in school and take a little break from your school work. All you have to do is watch the screen and do what the people on the screen do. (It’s kind of like Simon Says) It’s like dancing with a guide!

Running and walking are great ways to exercise! You can take a walk in the park or go run through the woods! Even taking your dog on a walk counts. Try competing with your friends in a fast-paced race or gather your family and take a walk with them.

Swimming is fun exercise that is great to do in the summer when you need to cool off! Before you jump in, make sure that there is a parent or lifeguard that can see you. Never try to go to a place that is too deep for you. When you are swimming, try and see if you can float on your back or swim like a mermaid. Jump in and make a splash!

Have you ever been hiking? Hiking is taking a walk in the woods, park, mountains or anywhere else in nature. It is a great way to get some fresh air and explore the nature around you. To make it even more fun, pack a lunch and have a picnic wherever you hike to!

Kickball is really fun team game! There are four bases. A pitcher rolls the ball towards the person who is up to kick. The person kicks the ball and tries to run to the bases without getting tagged by the ball. Try and make it to home base without getting tagged to score a point for your team!

Parachutes are large, round pieces of material that can be super fun to play with. Everyone gathers around the parachute and grabs a handle with both hands. Everyone then waves the para-chute around. To make it extra fun, throw a few beach balls into the middle and see how long you can keep them from falling out.
