Relax Already: Become a Player
While it is true that we begin our slow mental decline as young as age 27, there is something you can do to keep your gray matter fit — playing creative games. Crossword, sudoku, and Set are great ways to stimulate your brain and create new neuron growth.
Challenging your brain is not only good for your cognitive health, but it can be a great way to de-stress at the end of a busy day.
Class Act: P.E. for Adults
Remember P.E.? Playing games in the middle of the school day was always so much fun. The options were endless but Dodgeball, Floor Hockey, Red Rover, Run Alligator Run, and Capture the Flag topped my list of favorites.
What's the Deal with Spikeball?
I noticed a new game recently while at the beach, called Spikeball. I've never seen it before so I decided to do a little research.
Basically, Spikeball is a lot like volleyball except instead of hitting the ball over the net, you hit it onto a circular net/trampoline to volley the ball to your opponents.
Engagement Party: Garden Games
There are so many parties leading up to a wedding, but they all need not be formal, sit-down affairs. I propose (pun intended!) a garden party to celebrate your upcoming marriage. This way you can play games instead of just standing around drinking glass of champagne after glass of champagne trying to make small talk with your future aunt-in-law's third husband.
I Double Dog Dare You: Urban Dare
Do you dream of being on The Amazing Race but CBS hasn't come a calling?
Here's your chance... well, sort of.
A New Way to Burn Calories: Speedminton
Looking for a new way to burn calories and tone those arms all while having fun? Who isn't, right?
Try Speedminton, a cross between tennis, badminton, racquetball and squash, but requires no walls, no net and no court.
Game Time: ProForm 20.0 CrossTrainer Elliptical
Now I am not really a big video gamer, but combine video games and exercising and now you've got my attention.
This is why I am loving the new ProForm 20.0 CrossTrainer Elliptical ($799.00). Not only is it a great elliptical for your personal use, but the console features 2 interactive games.
Fit Gift: Fitness Challenge for the Fit Wannabe Couple
Looking for a game that will get fitness wannabes moving?
The Fitness Challenge ($29.95) combines playing a board game with the benefits of an exercise and fitness program. Designed for two players of any age or ability to compete, The Fitness Challenge uses rewards in the form of star points along with cute coupons (make the other player organize your drawer or clean out your cat's litter box) as prizes to motivate players to exercise consistently and lose weight for eight weeks.
Working out: Something is better than Nothing
For many of us working out is a full hour to slip away from the craziness that is the holidays, but what if you just don't have the time to get away to do your full work out? Or what if you're like me and can't bear to miss out on family board game time?
Anything is better than nothing as far as working out is concerned.
