After more than 10 years in the health and fitness industry, as an AFAA certified personal trainer, group-exercise instructor and fitness director, I stumbled across a bright concept in the ever-growing quest to evolution lives through exercise. "No Sweat ... Go for Gold" is a board game contained by which you exercise as you play. Don't let the signature fool you; after more than 60 push-ups, 28 leg-lifts and 45 crunches I was sweating!
An entrepreneur in Sacramento, California, developed "No Sweat" to bring exercise and fitness background to families. After almost 20 years of mulling over the model, perfecting the spectator sport board, patenting it and establishing the company name, Fun & Fitness LLC, Dan Thompson created a characteristic and fun way to oblige families capture fit.
How to Play
The objective of the spectator sport, secondary to getting fit and have fun, is to earn enough money by exercising and moving along the hobby board to enter the track-and-field competition at the center of the board.
The game is initiated when players earn $50 by completing their warm-up stretches. Players must angle money for hotel accommodations, airfare and sporting stuff.
The first three players to finish win gold, silver and bronze medal. The medals, exercise descriptions, winter sport bucks and rules come nicely package in the "No Sweat" team game box.
The game includes "calorie cards" showing pictures and indicating calorie counts for different foods. There are also "exercise cards" picturing 18 different exercises.
At the start of the spectator sport, players individually select their level of play. Beginners achieve the number of repetitions shown on the red exercise die, intermediate players perform double the number and advanced players triple the number.
Young children or those investigational to exercise should definitely stick to the trainee level.
The underlying nouns of "No Sweat" is that the whole home can play and it is adaptable to different fitness level. It is fun to see how children and adults alike can progress while playing the game.
All the Sacramento family who originally tested the game really loved it.
The bottom line is that playing "No Sweat" get families bad the couch and, more importantly, moving.
A Motivational Tool
How does this new board activity affect exercise professionals? First of all, we in a minute have a brand hot tool to motivate people to capture active. A board activity is a creative, unconventional method to entice nation of all ages to exercise.
Clients can bring it home to their family and soon enough video games and Internet chat won't be as much fun as making mom and dad do push-ups (the player to the not here chooses your exercise, so oftentimes a child selects exercise for a parent and vice versa).
Your pre-teen and pubescent clientele now hold a new team game to play with siblings and friends.
Exercise professionals enjoy been trying to awaken people to give somebody a lift exercise out of the gym and into their everyday lives for years.
We all know it is not plenty to meet beside a trainer one to three times a week, if healthy intake habits and on a daily basis recreation are not incorporated. Playing "No Sweat" can raise your spirits families to do lately that.
