Fun and Active Boot Camp Games

At the Mississauga Women's Fitness Boot Camps, it's not always about working to the max and sweating up a storm. We like to incorporate some fun and games either in the warm-up, the workout or the cooldown.

The game in the video below is called Circle Tag, and as you can hear from the ladies' screams and laughter, it's a whole lot of fun.

Here's how it works:

The person who is "it" stands outside the circle. Her goal is to tag the person who is directly opposite her on the other side of the circle. The person who is "it" can move in either direction at her discretion. The circle responds by moving in the opposite direction to protect their team member from being tagged in the back.

The lateral stopping and starting and strategic thinking, not to mention the laughing and screaming is very taxing on their bodies. The person who is it, has 30 seconds to make their tag before a new round begins with the person being chased becoming the new "it".

Enjoy.
