Adventure to Fitness - America's #1 Educational Fitness Program for Kids

Calling all elementary school teachers - this is something you definitely are going to want to check out!

Adventure to Fitness is a FREE educational fitness program for students. Check out this video to learn more about the program.  If you have any questions, feel free to ask!  I used this many times with my students last year when events were going on in the gym and I had to push into classrooms.

  1. This seems really interesting, and I'm surprised that it's free for US schools! I haven't heard of this before, but seems like it would be great for the inner city kiddos that I will have this year. I'm a little confused how it works, though. Do teachers choose what topics to cover? Is there a wide variety of topics to choose from? Does this program also address nutrition?

    1. Hi Amy,
      I was surprised that it was free too! So basically they have a library of different "adventure" episodes. The teacher or class, can choose any one of the episodes. The main character is Mr. Marc and he leads the students in the exercises while informing them about history/facts about where they are traveling to. He also incorporates fitness concepts and nutrition. -Casey

  2. That's the key to a great teacher I think...finding things that are free and that are great when integrated into the classroom! Nice find!

  3. What a cool program. Thanks for sharing! I want to send it to my past PE teacher so she can use it when the gym is occupied.

  4. This looks really cool, it's great to have a free and accessible resource that gets kids moving in the classroom. I could see this being used as a supplement to PE as well, maybe during a break time or something.

    1. Mike,
      Absolutely - If a class happened to finish up a lesson early, sometimes I am able to give them a choice of what activity they want to do for the last 5-10 minutes. Adventure to Fitness is a great option! - Casey
