Our 2025 August Fitness Challenge Calendar is here!<\/strong><\/p>\n

This challenge is still fun for students over the summer months to keep active at home! Educators can share this link with their students and encourage them to keep a record of their fitness activites throughout summer break.<\/p>\n

We teamed up with the\u00a0Alliance For A Healthier Generation<\/a> to create this fitness calendar for the month of August 2025. Here is the link to the download:<\/p>\n

Printable Fitness Challenge Calendar August 2025<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"Fitness<\/a><\/p>\n

Kids are challenged each day to participate in the activities listed on the calendar. For the month of August, since many kids are still on summer vacation, we encourage kids, their parents, and their friends to all practice simple fitness exercises during the week and on weekends. Teachers can also use the calendars for brain boost breaks if they are teaching summer school! Some of the exercises include planks, sit-ups, and hip bridges.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wednesday is Cardio Day! Kids can\u00a0spend the allotted time skipping, doing jumping jacks, or hula hooping.<\/p>\n

Each week, the number of repetitions for each fitness exercise increases. Please keep in mind the number of repetitions is meant as a guide, and can be adapted as needed based on age group and skill level.<\/p>\n

Descriptions for Exercises<\/h2>\n

Crab walks:<\/strong> Sit on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat. Place your palms on the floor behind you, then lift your hips and walk forward and\/or backward on your hands and feet like a crab.<\/p>\n

Planks<\/strong>: Get into the same position you would for a push up. The hands should be under the shoulders, a bit wider than shoulder-width apart. Hold the position for the specified time. For a simpler plank, you can place your forearms on the ground instead of your hands.<\/p>\n

Hip bridges:<\/strong> Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Rest your arms by your sides. Press your feet down as you lift your hips off of the ground. Hold for the specified time.<\/p>\n

Sit-ups:<\/strong> Sit on the floor with your knees bent and feet and heels flat. Cross your arms over your chest behind your head, hands on opposing shoulders. Pull up from the floor and stop when the elbows are on or past the knees.<\/p>\n

August Observances<\/h2>\n

There are a few fun observances in the month of August that can be related to the Fitness Challenge Calendar!<\/p>\n
