Spelling Game Team Workout

This week’s workout is from Ben Palmer of Ben Palmer PT. Thanks for sharing Ben!

Spelling B(ootcamp)

Time: 60 minutes

Equipment needed: Cards for writing on, tubs/buckets

Set Up

1. Write up a number of cards (number will depend on the number of clients). Use words related to fitness (squat,goal.nutrition etc)
2. Place these cards in two tubs in two locations (1 close, 1 a bit farther)
3. Split the group to two teams and give each a dice.

Concept

One member of each team roll the dice.

If the number comes up 1-3 the team member bear crawls to the first (closest) tub. If the number comes up 4-6 the member sprints to the second (far) tub. Here the client picks a card out of the tub and sprints back to the team.

The whole team then spells out the word on the card with exercises already prescribed on a white board. eg. A= 10 squats, B= 10 burpees and C= 10 press ups etc.

Once completed the next team member rolls the dice and then retrieves a card. Continue until all cards have been collected.
