Variety in Workout Suggestions

The La Mesa moms suggest that when the younger kids need variety and don't want to "JUST RUN" you could try this:

• Fitness Stations: Run for a minute or two between fitness stations and do push ups, sit ups, jump rope, ball toss or other exercises you might design for two minutes each before moving to the next station.
• Buddy Runs: Pair some of your faster children with your slower children and tell them to run together the entire time of your planned run. It helps the faster kids slow down a bit and enjoy it and it helps the slower kids speed up a bit and work harder.
• Relay Runs: Again pairing the slower kids with the faster kids - try to equalize teams and run relays.
