4th of July Family Fun Workout!



You can do this with a whole group of people, family and friends.

(If you are with a group of people, divide the group in half so you have 2 teams).

This would be REALLY fun to play with your entire family if you have kids.

You could play in the backyard after dinner on a nice summer evening before the fireworks begin.

===============
THE SET-UP
===============

Set up 4 cones in a diamond representing home plate, first base, second base, and third base.

At each base, you have to do a bodyweight exercise.

So here is an example:

Run to first base and do 10 pushups
Run to second base and do 10 jumping
lunges each leg
Run to third base and do 15 squat jumps
Run to home plate and do 15 squats

After you do the squats at home plate, that counts as one run. Continue on for 10 minutes and try and score as many runs as possible.

If you are on a team or going against a friend, try to score the most runs.

***If you are by yourself, you can challenge yourself by doing this workout for
4 weeks and trying to score more runs
at the end of the 4th week than you did
during the first week.

This will show you how much your fitness level has improved.

Have fun!

Have a fantastic and a happy 4th!
