"Last Tag" played with one or more; object of game is to tag last. I've seen it played in church, where Keith will put an arm around Kaleb, walk away, and Kaleb will lung to pat him on the back. At home, it can be a faster game, but set perimeters or time limits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8514203351771639458.post-30988902881353528332009-02-27T10:04:00.000-05:002009-02-27T10:04:00.000-05:00Bring that lycra band wherever you go.

It's great for strength training as you're waiting in traffic, for school to end, etc. Not just for the car - use when watching tv, reading at computer or doing dance for hubby. Myriad of possibilities. Good returns for simple effort.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8514203351771639458.post-76760416837864819742009-02-26T09:34:00.000-05:002009-02-26T09:34:00.000-05:00Make up cheers for encouragement/a certain word/sp...Make up cheers for encouragement/a certain word/specific action. Use that cheer for one day. For example, a cheer for anyone saying the word “please” could involve two jumping jacks, leg kicks, the wave and running in place. (All with a pithy rhyme of course) The actual design of a cheer could be one exercise session and the cheer delivered might be several times a day, depending on activity to be encouraged.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8514203351771639458.post-50557624747806698942009-02-25T10:10:00.000-05:002009-02-25T10:10:00.000-05:00Make a pact with 5 online buddies.

Wonder if keeping a public record with 5 buddies would give even more encouragement.

Let your girls bring you two things a super girl can carry. set the time and put one item in each hand. you can fly around the rooom/house with your arms outstreached, or stand there & see how strong supergirl can be.
