Looking for an activity for you and your children to get some exercise this winter? Try Flip-Flop. There are many variations and people of all ages can do it.
Have everyone choose a spot. Start by jogging in place. Every 15 to 30 seconds when signal is given (blow a whistle or ring a bell), everyone drops down, touch their stomach to the ground, flip over, touch their backs to the ground, and then get up and begin jogging again.
For variation, instead of jogging they can skip, hop on one foot, or jump on two feet. Each time they drop to do the Flip Flop they can do another exercise, like a sit-up, push-up, or toe touches. Let the kids suggest ideas of what they want to do.
This is one way to get a little activity in your life and spend some time together as a family.
