We introduced this idea at the beginning of the pandemic but with the kids out of school and the weather heating up, it's a great way to take a few minutes to get your heart rate up and have some fun while you are doing it!  This sidewalk chalk workout is simple, easy and cheap - no equipment or expense incurred. What is nice about this innovative workout is that you have an open canvas to put whatever you choose. Add push-ups, jumping jacks or even a burpee station. Add obstacles like tires to run through, something to jump over or a basketball to dribble. Draw along your open driveway or turn the corner to your public sidewalk and let the neighbors have a try the next time they take a walk.  

Need a new twist to physical education for eLearning for kids at home? This will not only help them stay physically active but also keep their brains active. Ask them to help think it through and draw it out. Add hopscotch, bear crawls or make them say the alphabet as they go through the course. If no kids are involved, draw it to fit your own needs. You can adjust the level of difficulty with a flick of the chalk! So, grab a piece of chalk and let your imagination run wild. Be creative and have fun with this at-home obstacle workout.
