Get Active Challenge- Feb 11, 2012

Welcome to our Daily GET ACTIVE Challenge! These suggestions are designed to give you ideas for getting the kids (and family) moving while having fun. Each day we will post an activity as our Daily Challenge. If it inspires you that is great! If you want to join in and do another activity off our BIG LIST that works too.

Stay tuned for great promotions (and some giveaways!)…participation in at least one day of the Challenge will be required!

Challenge #11: Hit the Stairs! Do you have stairs in your house or in a park near your house (Mt Trashmore perhaps?) Walk them, run them, just get up and down a few extra times! Looking for an extra Challenge? Train as a family for StepUP for the Up Center!
