This year the kids and I have been able to be involved in a family exercise class at our Macomb Family YMCA. We often have crazy and busy weeknight schedules but try to make time to attend this super fun family program, that also happens to be FREE with our membership! The instructor is awesome. She is patient, enthusiastic and best of all creative. You never know what you are going to be doing...every class she has incorporated a new and fun exercise. One week it was drumming on giant exercise balls, being drill sargents, running relays, step exercises and many other exciting games! Each class begins in a similar fashion, we walk in a giant circle around the room, which turns into running, which turns into skipping or shuffling and then a time of stretching. After that the games and exercises begin. We are often asked to find a partner and encouraged to get to know others within the class. Most partner type exercises require a bit of competition as well as team building skills.
When the hour is up, the kids and I always leave having had a great time and looking forward to the next class we can attend!
