Heart-Healthy Exercise

Encourage your little ones to show their hearts some love with these blood-pumping exercises! From a deck of playing cards remove the three, four, five, and six of hearts. Mix up those cards and arrange them facedown on the floor or table. Invite a volunteer to name an exercise (jumping jacks, arm cruches, toe touches, etc), choose a card, and then say the number. Next, have him lead the class in performing his exercise the number of times indicated on his card. When he finishes, have him place the card facedown on the floor/table. Continue in this manner until everyone has had a turn to lead the class. Whew, what a great workout!
