A Brief Bio:

Check out this EPE shooting star! 

Ready, Aim, Fire!  This is a simple and very fun game for kids.  The game goes by many names, but we call it the pin game.  The first team to knock down the other team's pins...wins!

There are a ton of cool rules that can be implemented, once all the kids understand the game.  Several of the rules focus on fitness or on team building concepts!

This great rope swing is at Curlew pond in Plymouth, Ma.  Depending on the amount of rain, the swing can be a big huge drop, or a slight drop like in this video.  Our family likes to camp at Curlew, and we use the rope swing everyday!

Everyday PE is not just a place to come and have fun. We work hard to help your child make positive choices in their life. Everyday PE is about helping kids to develop attitudes, skills and habits that will help them to stay active and healthy throughout their lifetime. In the past we have used reward systems and special awards to highlight and recognize the skills and attitudes that lead to healthy living. This summer however, we are implementing a more detailed program. Children will be recognized daily for choices, behaviors and attitudes that they exhibit during the day.

Joe's Rock in Wrentham is a great FREE recreation spot for families.  It has a few small trails and one climb to the top of Joe's Rock.  The trails wind around some wooded conservation land and provide an easy hiking level for people of all ages.

Toss, Bump, Catch, Volleyball

Push Ups make you stronger!

There are several great new tech companies that sell smart pedometers. 

These pedometers track your steps and send that information to your own personal tracking website. 

In some cases these devices allow you to form groups with others so that your team can exercise toward the same goal.

My two favorite devices so far, are the Striiv Play and the Fitbit Zip. 

Each of these have great features that motivate you toward your own personal growth.
