The Dice Workout Game

I’ve got a great way to add some variety into your fitness, a dice workout game! Read the directions below and then add your own rules to make working out a fun experience for the whole family.

The Dice Workout Game

Materials:

Two die, a piece of paper and a writing utensil.

Directions:

Number the paper 1-6 and write down a workout move for each number. You can do this on your own or have the kids help you out.

Example:

1. push up

2. sit up

3. squat jump

4. burpee

5. leg lift

6. tricep push up

To start the dice workout game, roll the first dice to determine which move you will do. So, with my list, if I roll a three, I do squat jumps; if I roll a five, I do leg lifts.

Then, roll the second dice to determine how many you do. I like to add a one in front of the number I roll so I never do less than 11 of any move. If you are super strong, you can add a zero to the end of each number to really get in shape!

I recommend committing to 10 rolls each time you play the dice workout game, but it depends on how much time you have. There are also tons of options for the dice workout game. Like if you want a wider selection of moves, use two die and have numbers 2 - 12 labeled with moves. You could also roll two die to determine numbers if you want to make them a little higher.

I love this as a great way for the kids to learn about the importance of fitness while having some fun. I like to incorporate extra little rules into the dice workout game with the kids. This makes it even more fun, like if someone rolls doubles, they get to choose any move they want. Or, for the little ones who are learning math, give a small prize to the one who can add the amount of the two die together in their head first.   

Fitness is fun! The dice workout game is a simple way to incorporate at-home workouts for you and your family. Can you think of any other special rules or things to add to the dice workout game?
