4.Simon Says
A good game of Simon Says can get the family moving. Take turns being Simon and be sure to choose challenging moves that will work those muscles and build flexibility.
5.Fit Ball
For this one, you blow up a beach and write exercises on it with a permanent marker. You can take turns tossing and catching the ball. Whoever catches it must perform one of the exercises before tossing it back. Get creative and make up your own rules.
6.Dance
Turn on some music and freestyle it or find a dance video. Get silly. Laughing burns calories too! If you create a routine, you are working your memory and coordination also!
