Each one includes a series of daily tasks that will help build healthy habits over the course of an entire month. Let’s explore each challenge in more detail.

Challenge 1: Muscular Endurance – Muscular endurance refers to the ability to exert force, consistently and repetitively, over a period of time. This challenge features a 5-minute exercise circuit that includes wall sits, running in place, planks, crab bridges, and wall pushups.

Challenge 2: Household Chores – One of the best ways to get kids more active is to get them helping out around the house. This challenge includes tasks like making the bed, washing the dishes, taking out the trash, and walking the dog.

Challenge 3: Healthy Body – Building healthy habits is about more than just exercise! This challenge includes self-care tasks like hydration, playing outside, hygiene, and sleep.

Challenge 4: Kindness – This challenge is all about exercising our kindness muscles. It includes daily tasks to lend a hand, help others feel cared for, or just make someone smile.

Challenge 5: Nutrition – This challenge will help kids build healthy eating habits. Daily tasks will reinforce eating balanced meals and getting proper hydration to fuel an active lifestyle.

Challenge 12: Bee Fit – This fun challenge brings it all together. Tasks include a mix of strength, movement, hydration, and kindness.

After you purchase this resource online, you will be directed to the download area, where you can download and print each Healthy Habit Tracker, and let the fun begin. Pick a tracker, hand out a copy of the tracker to each student, and have them complete the daily task for an entire month. If you have a kinesthetic learner or your student just needs a brain break, these daily exercises are a great way to re-energize your students between subjects. And what better way to motivate your students, than to get active with them, family fitness is a fun way for everyone to be healthy.

In just five minutes per day, you can motivate and inspire your kids to make time for daily exercise, and help them learn the value of an active lifestyle. Visit the Crew Blog to read more reviews from the Homeschool Review Crew.
