Family Workout - Uno Card Game! Parents, we know that it's tough to stay physically fit with kids especially with the sacrifices you have to make throughout the week for them, such as dropping them off at practices and picking them up from after school activities. The bottom line is that breaking routine is tough especially if the routine is beneficial for your kids, but does that give you the excuse not to workout at all??? NO! Our solution is simple, spend family time with a fitness twist! To the right is our version of a classic card game that your family can play with some "get fit" added in, so...LET'S PLAY UNO!!! Everyone is pretty familiar with the classic card game of Uno so we've decide to add more fun and fitness to the game! All of the original rules still apply for the game. If you're unfamiliar with the general rules look at the instructions listed on the box. Once the game is underway every time a person has to add cards to their hand they must do the exercise of the corresponding color and the number of reps on the card. Blue Cards = Walking Lunges (1 = Both sides) Yellow Cards = Body Weight Squats Green Cards = Push-ups Red Cards = Sit Ups or Crunches Wild Cards = Burpees Example: If someone has to add a Blue 5, Yellow 9, and 3 Green from the card pile then they must complete the following: Walking Lunges - 5 reps Body Weight Squats - 9 reps Push-Ups - 3 Youth Athletic Performance Training Training Options Off­season (Speed & Agility) Training Ball Coordination Tra ining Be sure to visit the website to view the full description of each training option to determine which option suites your athlete the best! We look forward to training your athlete soon!!! www.RoeProFA.com Contact Information: Phone: 980­406­0975 Email: [email protected] @RoePro_FA Sport Specific Position Training Roe Pro Fitness & Athletics All Athletes & Genders Are Welcomed!
