ideas for staying active on super bowl sunday

Super Bowl Sunday is just around the corner, and for most people the game conjures up thoughts of funny advertisements, yummy snacks and (hopefully) a good football game. But TurfMutt wants to give a big high-paw to the NFL for its “Play 60″ fitness and health campaign that encourages young people to be active for at least 60 minutes per day. In support of this initiative here are a few ideas for keeping your family active, even on Super Bowl Sunday!

Ideas for being active on Super Bowl Sunday

• Before the game starts grab the dog and the entire family for a brisk walk around your neighborhood or to the park to get some fresh air and exercise before kickoff.
• In honor of the “Seahawks” and the “Broncos” go on a wildlife scavenger hunt in your neighborhood prior to the game. See how many different animals you can spot that would make good football team mascots.
• Pause the game during commercials to run a quick race in the front or back yard. Whoever wins gets the best seat in the house for the next series of plays.
• During halftime press pause again (so you don’t miss any of the halftime entertainment!) and play a fun, friendly family game of flag football outside. The winning team gets to be first in line for second-half snacks.
