CircusFit: Our New Physical Fitness Program

We just found out that Ringling Brothers is coming to town next month! They have a free pre-show that allows kids to meet the cast, try on costumes, learn tricks, and meet the animals. This will be a perfect experience for Big Snail who pretends to be in a circus everyday. While at their site, I discovered CircusFit. This is a complete physical fitness program that is tailored just for kids. Once I signed up as an educator, I had access to an unbelievable amount of resources to implement this program in our homeschool. What a fun way to do physical fitness!

One of the really nice features of the website is that it gives the children visuals of how to complete each activity:


They also have videos of different types of acts at the circus:

One of the fun features of the site is the clown challenge. It allows kids to choose a fun activity, how they do the activity, and how long they have to do the activity for.


They have a complete set of lesson plans, a way of tracking completed activities, charts for kids, and certificates for completion. There are five different modules with over 20 different lessons/activities.

I will post pictures of the Snails participating in CircusFit. This is the perfect fitness program for Big Snail because of his huge interest in the Circus right now.

Before you take my images, you'd better ask me first. I request that if, and when, you use my information and pictures, you provide proper credit and citation. A link back to my blog is nice, too. I love to give permission to really nice people. In fact, I have never said no. If you steal anything from my site, I get to be mean to you. Really mean. And I am smart enough to catch you being sneaky, too.
