1. Dance Party Challenge
Pick your favorite playlist and have a 10-minute dance-off. Let each family member pick one song. Add bonus points for creative moves!
2. Wall Sit Challenge
Use pillows, towels, chairs, and tape to create a safe indoor obstacle course. Climb over, crawl under, balance on one foot—get creative! Time each family member to see who completes it fastest.
3. Partner Planks & High-Fives
Get into a plank position facing each other and alternate giving high-fives. It strengthens the core and builds teamwork.
4. Follow the Leader Circuit
One person is the leader and picks a workout move for 30 seconds. Rotate through family members and see who comes up with the silliest combo!
5. Breathing & Stretch Cooldown
End with a calm stretch circle and a few deep breaths to bring energy down and promote mindfulness.
