Pocketfit Kidz “Animal Fun” exercise playing cards is an exciting new concept designed to get kids active and improve their general fitness and well being. It has been designed to give children the opportunity to access an exercise activity which is fun, challenging and interesting. Young children are inherently lively, adventurous and inquisitive and just want to have fun and enjoy their lives. We owe them the opportunity to be active and healthy giving them the guidelines and opportunities to access what should be a normal and energetic lifestyle, let`s try and make exercise less intimidating and make it more motivating for children.

We need to move them away from the sofa, the television and off computer games and get them active. The cards are an effective teaching aid and form of interaction for younger children, encouraging fun and exercise, based on an animal theme. There are thirteen different animal exercises to carry out and are enhanced by the fact that they are actual playing cards meaning that even animal snap can have an energetic twist.

The concept allows instructors to be creative and innovative in delivery, why not design and implement your own games, play have fun and make exercise enjoyable.
