“I’m Bored!”
I’m Bored! Does this sound familiar? Do you hear this more lately? Does it drive you crazy? Well, you are not alone! Boredom during this time of our lives is a real kicker.
Adult bodies thrive when able to move, children’s bodies crave movement, and one fun way to get moving, fight temporary boredom, get our blood pumping, cause some laughs, stimulate our brains and bodies giving us a much-needed break from stay-at-home school work, is moving to some funky fresh tunes together.

This is a TABATA!
You will hear the cues GO, the round number you’re on, then STOP/REST. This repeats for a total of 4 mins. It is 20 seconds of work time/10 seconds or rest time.
Turn on this tune and start jumping around with your kids every time you hear the words “I’m bored” (or when a brain break is needed). One of two things will happen; they will think twice before the next time they say it, or you’ll start incorporating a really fun way to take a break and jump around with your kids. Either way – it’s a win, win!
There are many TABATA songs out there you can pick from. The fun part is you can choose your favorite moves to come up with a personalized movement break that works best for you and your kiddos – the key is just to move! If your kids are into superheroes this may be a great resource for them!
