Macaroni Kid encourages quality family time and wellness in all that we do. We know that families working towards a common goal can do anything (sky’s the limit!) when employing teamwork and each other’s support. We know bettering your family is your goal and we aim to give you some tools to do so.
So, consider this our fitness call to you and your family! Join us and get movin’! “Our Family Moves” is about making a commitment to move together; after all, “the family that plays together stays together!”
Simply print this calendar every month. Fill in your team’s names. Discuss the challenge at the next family meeting or during family dinner and talk strategy! Divide up the task so that it’s doable, yet challenging and rewarding for all. Make a plan for the day, the week, and the month. Create a family motto; “in it to win it!” or “all together now!” Set mini goals towards the challenge. Break it up, keep track, and most importantly, support one another!
Hang this “Our Family Moves” calendar on the fridge, or somewhere everyone can see, and remember to do your part each day. This month, we’re challenging you and your family to do a 1,000 knee lifts! Standing with feet spread apart, and arms to the sky, simply lift one knee and tuck it close to your core as you bring your arms in to meet it. It's like a crunch standing up - good for the whole body! Alternate sides (aka the 'running man') or do 10 on one side, 10 on the other. Keep going 'til you've racked 1,000!
Brainstorm how many lifts each person must do a day to meet the goal as a team. Do them together! Your family can MOVE! Ready? Set....knees!
