Fitness 4 Homeschool Review - Finding BeautyAs a member of the Schoolhouse Review Crew, I recently was able to try out the Fitness 4 Homeschool program from Family Time Fitness.

About Fitness 4 Homeschool

Fitness 4 Homeschool Review - Finding BeautyFitness 4 Homeschool is a fun P.E. curriculum for homeschooling families.  The Fitness 4 Homeschool Core 1 Curriculum costs $57 for the PDF download and contains 260 lessons.  It was designed for grades K-8.  The lessons are easy to complete and need very little time to set up.  They take only about 30-45 minutes per day to complete.

Fitness 4 Homeschool is a complete curriculum and includes the following:

  • introductory guide
  • a daily schedule
  • a list of require equipment
  • tips and tests
  • additional downloads

The 260 lessons are broken down into 13 PDF files.  The lessons include everything you need to complete the lesson.  There are written instructions in each lesson, but also, a link to an online video that shows you exactly how to to the activity.  That was a really helpful option!

My Thought on Fitness 4 Homeschool

As a mom of boys, I’m always looking for ways to expel all that excess energy.  We did the Fitness 4 Homeschool program as a summer “boredom buster”.  It can be so hot here in the summer that the kids tend to spend more time inside than out.  Not to mention that the heat can make it dangerous to exercise outside for long.  So I really appreciated that we could adapt the lessons to indoor use.  We used the Fitness 4 Homeschool 3-5 days per week and Riley did enjoy it.  Because he is blind in his right eye, his coordination can sometimes be off and I do feel that regular and organized exercise will help improve his balance and coordination.

Summary

I do feel that Fitness 4 Homeschool is a great P.E. option for Homeschoolers.  It contains lots of fun activities that kids will enjoy and that families can do together.  I do think the price is a bit steep, especially for a PDF download, but that’s just me.  I’m such a cheapskate that I  get sticker shock easily.  But once the sticker shock wore off, I realized that the program can be used over and over again, so it’s really more of an investment.  Teaching your children early on the importance of exercise is a wise idea and this makes teaching that principle fun and easy.  Highly recommend!
