Like so many of you parents, in the two months of social distancing we’ve had our kids get us to join them in performing the latest weekly Tik Tok dance craze. Our kids giggle at us trying to keep up to Charli d’Amelio or the Drake toosie slide. What we didn't realize is that these were not only fun dances, but also a pretty darn good burst of exercise at the same time.
While we have enjoyed learning about what's new, we thought it would be a great opportunity to introduce kids to a simpler time, when workouts required only your untapped enthusiasm and brightly coloured spandex. New trends lasted for years, not weeks or days. For your viewing pleasure, we have gathered together a few links from the golden age of home workouts, in the hopes that you will create many new family memories while you burn calories together.
Here is our list, let us know how it goes!
