Some workout ideas for you to do with the kids or the kids to do together
1. Warm Up - about 20 secs of each activity

Repeat until warm and slightly out of breath
2. Squat and Pass
> Using a beanbag/loo roll/small cushion
> Stand either in a circle if there is more than 2 of you or facing each other if just 2
> Squat (keep feet flat on the floor)
> When you come up - pass the beanbag to the person on the left
About every 10 secs or so, pause and whoever has the beanbag has to put it on their head and do a pistol squat for count of 4 each leg

3. Lunge and Pass

7. Assault Course
If you have the space in the kitchen or have a garden, why not build a mini-assault course.

> Use a pot and bean bag/loo roll for throwing skills
