Fit Mom's Blog

In yet another way to get fit, you can now find local communities offering Old School PE!  Games played include Ultimate Frisbee, Dodgeball, Relay Races, Tug of War and many other games that we played as kids.

As you may know, I am a phys ed teacher.  These games I still teach to the kids (with the exception of a few) and kids LOVE them.  And, in Cross Fit, we are “playing” tug-of-war, climbing ropes and just yesterday, we were hauling a 30,000 pound truck- all in the name of fitness and fun.  And, it is.  We laughed our asses off in tug-of-war and although I was scared of getting run over by the truck, it was also fun to pull it (photos coming soon)…

And, in Portland, Oregon, there is a group of women who get together weekly to play recess games. It’s called Urban Recess and it just cracks me up.  People are getting together to laugh, run and sweat.

Thinking we should all organize a weekly recess game in our own little hood- have a cook-out afterwards and laugh!
