Play Like A Kid!

The Idea

Why spend time drudging through boring workouts when you can have fun and get some exercise at the same time? Remember when we were kids — we were active outside playing, not counting reps on machines indoors. Let's do it again! http://www.secondchancefit.com

The Specifics

This is a 6-week Play Like A Kid group fitness event in a local park, held on consecutive Saturday mornings. 45 minutes of play time will include: warming up (since we're not really kids any more); activities and games that are both fun and build muscular and cardiovascular strength and endurance; cool down and stretch. Funds would be used to purchase small equipment (balls, jump ropes, etc.) and to advertise to the community to come join in the fun!

Love the concept of playing like a kid. I really enjoyed a recent blog post on ModernMom called "Move Like An Eight Year Old" - http://www.modernmom.com/blogs/lynn-hall/fitness-experiment-move-like-an-eight-year-old

Thanks! I'm hoping that by showing people that exercise doesn't have to be drudgery, more people will do it!
