Quick. Real Quick.

There are so many movement practices that promote balance in our bodies.  Here, we are utilizing functional fitness movements because:

1. We can work quick. Like real quick.
2. They are functional – mom’s lifting kids into cars or dad’s moving the couch to find a beloved lost toy require functional strength.  Period.
3. They are very simple to do at home without a gym or babysitter to watch the kids.
4. They address our total body make up by building strength and stamina simultaneously.

And yet, there are so many other things that still address our physical health.  Brisk walks, yoga, Pilates, sports, and so many other movements promote physical health.  We strongly encourage you to find what works for you.  It is all about building commitment to the practice, but ultimately YOU will determine what that practice looks like.

5 Rounds:

• 15 Thrusters
• 30 seconds High Knees

Fun for Kids:

Create a story about where those high knees are taking you – fast!

Hold a stuffed animal or toy lightsaber overhead to save the day on every press-up in thrusters.

For the sporty kids, hold a nerf-type ball in your hands, throw just above your head as thrusting up, and then build coordination to catch the ball on the way back down.
