Hy-Vee® KidsFit™

Physical wellness is all about taking care of your physical body by fueling and moving every day. Visiting the doctor when we are sick, getting enough sleep and playing safely are all important parts of physical wellness too. Any action that focuses on the health of our physical body is physical wellness.

Take the Physical Wellness Challenge to improve your fitness by building and conquering your own obstacle course!

Here’s How You Do It:

1. Choose 5 obstacles you want to build. Use some of our ideas or create your own!
2. Gather your materials and build your obstacle course.
3. Take the challenge and run your obstacle course!
   • For extra fun time yourself and your family and friends to see who can finish the quickest! You can also compete against yourself and try to beat your own time! Print time recording sheets, here.
